@JYZProductions Yes! Use a natural oil (tung or linseed) if you want the wood to breath. Check out landark finishes- awesome company! They have a ton of products that allow wood to breath.
So if bought a 2010 Fender American Stratocaster, sanded off the satin finish then added a single coating on the neck and headstock, will the wood look vintage?
reason ask about 2 kinds of polyurethane is, im doing a patch up on my guitar and the work will be makin taped off but it will touch the other work that was on the guitar when i bought it and if the 2 polyurethanes varnishes are not identical i.e water base and regular will it go bad like when you put lacquer near regular varnish
im patching up a chip on my brain may red special guitar, im told it has a
Polyurethane finish. firsh i have to sand down the chip to a bare wood, use colortone cherry red stain, but im not sure which type of polyurethane varnish to use? water based or regular stuff
my concern is, will it take to the stain or will it bleed? if there are 2 different types of this polyurethane varnish i.e water base or regular will it bubble or have a bad effect?
really nice job showing how to use poly properly! My Dad is a woodworker and I have worked with it many times over the years. I wish I had a tutorial like this back in the beginning! Great Job!
At lease now I can use polyurethane as I didn't really know who to use it. The hardware store just says to read the label. Thanks. Also how come you use a foam brush instead of the bristle brush?.

what you should do is apply the polyurethane and then let it dry and take steel wole over it to take out the bubbles

so I bought some spray on polyurethane to finish up some guitar projects and was wondering if the polyurethane would lock moisture into the wood?

ive been told the sponge can make air bubbles so you should probably go with the brush

Your right, both sponge and those foam rollers will leave air bubbles. You can apply
the polyurethane with them but finish it witha good quality brush strokes

a light sanding with very fine grit sandpaper between coats helps with adhesion. My girlfriend would love that sign you made :)

What if I wanted to use a spray on polyurethane. Does that make it harder to get on even, and is the process still the same
