<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 111246, member: 37&quot;]The only thing that does well with water is poly or the spray acrylic laquers.&nbsp; A coat of paste wax will add some protection to other finishes but is not completely waterproof.&nbsp; I don&#039;t like polyurethane due to the plastic look it provides.&nbsp; It also does not penetrate very well so can have the tendency to flake off if the surface is not adequately prepared. </p><p><br /></p><p>Tung oil varnish penetrates well, blends well with most other finishes, leaves no brush marks, and has a nice antique glow to it.&nbsp; The more coats you add, the shinier it gets but that can be dulled a bit with steel wool and/or a coat of paste wax.&nbsp; I use paste wax on all my furniture to provide an extra layer of protection for the finish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
