To properly apply polyurethane to wood surfaces for a durable and protective finish, follow these steps:
- Sand the wood surface to remove any imperfections and create a smooth surface.
- Clean the surface to remove any dust or debris.
- Apply a coat of polyurethane using a high-quality brush or applicator, following the wood grain.
- Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying additional coats, typically 2-3 coats are recommended.
- Sand lightly between coats to ensure a smooth finish.
- Allow the final coat to dry completely before using the wood surface.
