To finish a table top with polyurethane for a smooth and durable surface, follow these steps:
- Sand the table top to remove any imperfections and create a smooth surface.
- Apply a coat of polyurethane using a brush or roller, following the wood grain.
- Allow the first coat to dry completely before lightly sanding with fine-grit sandpaper.
- Apply additional coats of polyurethane, sanding between each coat for a smooth finish.
- Allow the final coat to dry completely before using the table.
