It would be helpful if you mentioned in more detail what rubbing pads brands, course and manufacture is.

Thanks for this. Question, hoping maybe you can help - i’m using Minwax wipe on poly oil-based varnish applied with a foam brush to finish a painting, and the Minwax wipe on was recommended. I’ve been shaking it because that’s what the can recommends, and I keep getting bubbles. Frustrating! The Minwax site says never shake polyurethane varnish, but their own instructions for this product says to shake it repeatedly while using it, which tells me it must settle out. I thought perhaps I could shake it up, then dump the whole can into another container that has a wide enough mouth to be able to stir it, let it settle overnight, and then maybe stir it prior to use? Hoping this might reduce the bubbles. I heard you say not to shake it so it would seem to me this approach might work if the product does need to be mixed. Any suggestions? Thank you!

So I have done a walnut end table and finished with watch danish oil. Not happy with the sheen. Can i apply a watco whipe on poly to up the luster?

Master Nerd; I have heard about using a Paper Bag between coats of Wipe-On (instead of the 3M Pads), What is your Wisdom on this matter. Thank You.

Find it better to just mix your own. Take gloss minwax normal oil poly and mix it 50/50 with mineral spirits. Or thinner if like
