Yup, not much fresh air, at least until I add some add'l ventilation (there are 4 small passive vents along each side), which I may or may not do. The epoxy sounds like too much trouble. I just want something simple but better than doing nothing. That would include not sanding between coats, and I didn't know what about water-based poly, so that sounds good. What's the advantage of aluminum-oxide content ?
Aluminum oxide is the grit in most sandpapers. Its very tough stuff and when embedded in the poly provides a lot of wear resistance.
Well, I got it off Amazon (the Varathane stuff you mentioned). Kinda weird experience: I saw your post with the link around midnite, and Amazon said "free one-day shipping" and "you'll get it tomorrow [i.e. today, since it was after midnite] if you order in the next 11+ hours". So I did. And a guy came in a van early this afternoon - some company I never heard of. I did pay about $50 for the gallon though.
Thanks for the warning, but I didn't use it.
I'm following the instructions on the can, which basically says you can recoat after 2 hours, but if you wait more than 24 hrs, then you need to "lightly sand". I don't want to do any sanding if I can help it, so I've been re-coating and slightly before the 24hr mark. So I'm actually closing it up when I'm done, so it doesn't dry out TOO much before I re-coat.
My Nancy says I freak out too easy. She stays less tense by regular healing sessions (with John Redcorn).That would freak Dale Gribble out anyway.
