Ive figured out theres about 3 different kinds of vids that often are lumped together. Clickbait where the title promises, and the content doesnt deliver. Then theres the ones where the title promises, but delivers only after 15min of ranting. Those I simply call TV shows, or entertainment shows. Then theres the ones that promise, and deliver what they promise. Those I call honest shows. And I can certainly see how it would piss a guy off who hops on youtube to learn himself over a hurdle in a current project (often in a hurry), only to be subjected to straight up clickbait or someone telling campfire stories for 10min before getting to the point of the video. Tegridy!

Yeah too bad he can't get the audio right. He needs a microphone and to not hold the camera so close when he is sanding. Its annoying to hear all the sanding over him talking. But if he wants to hold the camera so close he needs to mute the microphone on the camera

Yo Peaves that’s the packaging, throw it away.

This video is SO HELPFUL and concise. I’m working on my first furniture restoration project and this helped immensely with my finishing process. Thank you!

I can’t wait to try that on my next project. Thank you for the Information. I have never had a dust free environment to apply finishes so I had to live with a less than professional finish. Great video! Thanks again.

Just what I was looking for. I’ve watched all kinds of videos but this is the first one I’ve seen that I can clearly see a difference in the appearance of the wood after each sanding application.

AHH thank you so much! I have been making fine furniture for years. I can get to the mirror look, but it takes me so long. This is a much more efficient method. I love KZread, insofar as learning woodworking, etc, I learn so much that makes my products better and better.

The technique works fantastically! I had just completed six coats of poly on a new 36x72 rustic dining room table. Not only did the procedure work for the poly, but I also used it in removing finishing paste wax. What a super idea, thank you.

Thank you so much for posting this video! You literally saved my project - I painted our vanity top and no matter what method I used to apply the topcoat, I couldn’t get a smooth finish. I was contemplating using pour on epoxy when I came across your video. After receiving the supplies, I had a smooth finish in 5 minutes. Thank you!

Well, this beats my finishing trick. I just call everything I make 'rustic.' Then all of my sins are automatically forgiven. smh

Thanks for getting to the point. Quickly moving to each step and showing a brief demonstration. ❤️

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just bought my first unfinished dining room table that I want to keep it as natural as possible. Your video was EXACTLY what I needed to know.

I'm a little late to this discussion, but...I have been using the Scotch pads, and particularly the grey ones and sometimes the green ones, for several years now, on my random orbit sander to get whatever degree of shine that I want for that particular piece of wood. But what I do is cut the Scotch pad to fit the sanding disc and this helps the sander from wanting to sling the Scotch pad off the sander. I also like it because I can get a shine but still have the wood look more or less natural and not have it look like a piece of plastic.

WOW. THANKS! THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! I’m just refinishing my first table, and just finished the last coat of polyurethane. I was wondering how to make sure it stays shiny after the last sanding. You’re EXTREMELY HELPFUL!

What a perfect video. Exactly the problem I'm trying to fix. Great tips! Finishing a guitar with wipe on poly and this will help a great deal. Very concise!

Agree with everyone else. Thank you for being easy to understand and straight to the point. This helped a lot.

I tried this today and it worked beautifully. I couldn't believe anything I put polyurethane on would actually turn out so well! Thank you so much!

You, sir, are a savior. Tried this today on my satin polyurethane finish for my butcher block counter top. All the little nibs and fibers that deposited from the atmosphere smoothed out nicely with the 3M pad after a 24h dry time. Since I'm going for low gloss that pad is my final step!

This is a "just the facts, ma'am" type of guy, never entranced by his own voice and talking more about his accomplishments than about the work to do, an awesome fella, THANKS BUDDY!

My husband built me a maple table. He does a lot of woodworking but I usually do the finishing. I can't wait to try this last step on my new table top! Using Minwax matte finish but when I tried it on a scrap piece and it was beautiful! Thank you!

I learned this technique from one of your other vids. It's great. I'm waiting for more 3m pads as we speak so I can finish my latest project. Thanks

This technique worked really great on my 5 workbench/miter station tabletops stained with classic gray and finished with polyurethane. Leaves a high end furniture piece finish. Now it’s time to beat them up a bit! Thank You for the video, helped me out a lot. 👍🏻👍🏻

I come back to this video every time I poly a project to remind myself how to get great results. Thank you so much for creating this video!!!

Best demonstrative speaker on KZread. Well done.

Subscribed!! Thanks so much for putting out great content without all the nonsense KZread is famous for. I’m looking forward to your next video!

Cool stuff. I don't have a ro sander so I'm just buffing by hand with ultra fine pads. I'm using them between coats, buffing until the surface is white and smooth, and then wiping the dust off with a very lightly damp paper towel-seems to be working quite nicely.

Bob Ross of woodworking. Love it! Thanks!

I've been looking into alternatives to poly as it's a pain to maintain a dust-free environment. I've moved towards Watco Danish Oil which has varnish and Waterlox which is resin-modified Tung Oil. Both soak into the wood building coats slowly but without any of the nuisances like brush marks or bumps. Once several coats are applied you can buff them to get a sheen. Danish Oil is good for light use and Waterlox is for heavier duty use and is more waterproof.

This was the most helpful video I have ever watched in regards to finishing with polyurethane. Saved my project! Thank you

Thank you so very much. I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem. I can't wait to try this... I thought it was just me.

This works great. Did it on cheap pine from Home Depot i used to build my keezer collar. After the inital sanding, i applied 6 coats of Minwax high gloss polyurethane, lightly sanding between coats with 320 grit sandpaper. Sixth coat dried for 24 hours, then sanded with 400 grit, then wet sanded with 600 grit, then went over that with 0000 steel wool and then followed up with white 3M final finishing pad from Lowes on my orbital sander. Fantastic finish; smooth as glass and a nice warm glow.

This video was soo helpful!!! Thank you so much for showing this technique.

To the author: this is without question one of the most useful videos I have ever viewed about finishing techniques. So thanks so much for creating this! However, I don't think the title of your video really does justice to what you are offering here. It is not just about how to get glass-smooth results with polyurethane. it is really about glass-smooth results AFTER THE FACT. Yours is the first how-to video on wood finishing with poly that I have ever viewed that talks about the process AFTER the finish has been applied and has dried. All the other videos I have viewed (and I have viewed lots) talk about how to achieve better results DURING the process - namely between coats. I would strongly suggest you add a couple of words to your title to emphasize the 'after the fact' benefits that truly distinguish your technique!

Thanks for posting this. It was exactly what I wanted to know and really helped me.

Thank you sir straight to the point thanks for these great tips! I messed up a poly coat the other day had to sand the piece again! Had a art piece I did on the build thought I had ruined it for good but luckily I saved it! I did similar to your tips but you had a few extra tips in that I did not know! Thanks for the informative video will sub and look forward to more videos in the future! Happy wood working!

scouring pad on the orbital sander. pure genius. i frequently use scouring pads in finishing and it never occurred to me to try it on my orbital.

Wow that was amazing, thank you!

Great ideas. Excellent process

So, this worked great by making everything smooth and from an angle, everything is very shiny with good color. However, when viewing top down, it looks foggy like there is a loss of color and not reflective. Strange, but is there something I did wrong or do I need to follow up with wax?

About to do a desktop this week. Thanks for this.

@@angelawhalen8890 It could be for a couple of reasons, here are three: First, the wood might have not been dry, poliurethane works best when applied to lumber or wood with 15% of humidity ir less. So there might be some humidity trapped between the wood and the finish. Second reason, could be the sanding and planing job; you must always aim for the flattest surface and evenly sand the latter up to 150-180 grit(over 320 is overkill). Then sand in between coats with 400 grit and increase the grit every 2 coats. Typically you will apply only 4 coats, so you could start with 400 and en with 800 grit. But if the surface isn't flat or haven't been sanded properly, there are going to be low spots that you'll miss with the next grit, and hence the bad results. Marking with a pencil is used as a good reference to see if you are sanding properly, and if there is a spot where the pencil mark remains, mark again and sand until it disappears, only then move to the next grit. Reason number three is the polishing job, in almost every video out there, people cut the video since the polishing job takes some time, take your time to do it but don't, I repeat DO NOT, use the pencil technic once you started applying the finish, since you will mess up the finish. Try to do the polishing job with a light reflection so you can see which part needs a retouch. Hopes this helps!

Boom! fantastic tip! fantastic presentation! all KZreadrs need to watch this and realize you don't need fancy graphics and begging for followers. you just need good information. thank you!
