2nd Build SHB-4

It's not quite as durable as some of the polyurethane stuff, as it's more designed for exterior wood that can flex a little, and so is a little softer. But I think the finish is better. Horses for courses.

Well, after a fractious few months Wipe-On Poly and I have agreed to bury the hatchet, shake hands, and walk-away never to mention things again.
So I am now wondering if this is the kind of thing I should be looking at for spray-on poly: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rustoleum-A...s%2C155&sr=8-3
Thank you all

FWIW I have had numerous compatibility problems with Rustoleum.

I think spray cans are an expensive solution and usually you will need many more coats to get the desired finish.

I would give Ronseal Gloss Yacht Varnish a try.
I used this 5 years ago on my lounge floor when I refurbished my house.
Still glossy, no yellowing and hard as nails. Cleans and thins with white spirit so very conventional.
B and Q have it.

(Plus when you have finished the guitar, you can go and varnish the kitchen table or whatever)

Cheers

Or your yacht.

Though you'll probably get one of your servants to do that.

The left over tin might be an incentive for Drew’s next DIY yacht project.

Surely one has people to varnish one's yacht?

Too many people spend far too much Time and effort varnishing the yacht, when they really ought to be tending to the dinghy.

[blinddrew]

that is definitely a lesson for our times.

I'm not sure what it teaches us, but that just emphasises the point!
