To effectively apply oil-based or water-based polyurethane to protect and enhance the finish of your wood furniture, follow these steps:
- Prepare the surface by sanding it smooth and clean.
- Apply a coat of polyurethane using a high-quality brush or applicator.
- Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying additional coats.
- Sand lightly between coats for a smooth finish.
- Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat for better results.
- Allow the final coat to cure fully before using the furniture.
