To properly apply polyurethane to a table top for a durable and long-lasting finish, follow these steps:
- Sand the table top 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 according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any imperfections.
- Apply additional coats of polyurethane, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
- Sand lightly between coats for a smooth finish.
- Allow the final coat to dry completely before using the table.
