Thank you. Very informative. I used water base on a desk for my kids and it has held up very well to their abuse so far. The paint and food cleans right off💪
There is a water base spar urethane that I used for outdoor to keep an original light color of the stain or paint instead of using the oil base spar urethane or polyurethane that yellows and darken the finish .It’s a minwax brand indoor/outdoor helmsman spar urethane. Sold at sherwin Williams
What varnish would i use for kitchen trivets, or hot plates? Im concerned about the heat they will get with hot pans on them always. What would you recommend?
There is a water based polyurethane used on small craft projects. It can leave a slight yellow tint like the oil based. That being said, thank you for the video. I think that I will use the polycrylic on the inside stairs that I will stain, now that the carpet has been removed. I do prefer working with water based.
Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong, but I was always told you can apply a water-based top-coat over an oil-based stain because the water-based solvents can’t really mess with the oil-base below, BUT you can’t apply an oil-based top-coat over a water based stain as it can mess with the water based stain. Is this not correct?
@@kfiscal01 once oil based coatings paints or stains are fully hardened, you can add water based coatings over it. This has always been true. I have a 30yr old table that's my dad finished with oil and I covered with water-based poly 20 years ago. It's still going strong
Sorry, but I've used oil based poly over water based stain and vice versa many times. As long as the stain is totally dry, it doesn't make a bit of difference.
