Thanks for the in-depth explanation of applying wipe on poly on a wood turned project. I am looking for a way to make my finishes better and I believe this is it!

I also use Minwax wipe on poly for lathe turnings. I don't do the shellac step but just apply 5-6 coats of Minwax. I sand only the fourth coat and find I can apply a fresh coat every 30 minutes, though I live in a pretty dry and warm area so your results may be different. It gives a stunning finish, crystal clear, and doesn't darken the wood as much as some wipe on finishes do. I love it.

Edit: The shellac step is really old school, and I commend you for using it.

Nice demonstration! Is there an advantage using wipe on poly vs. Lacquer. It seems lacquer would be faster. Thanks.

is there a reason that you use minwax wipe-on vs. watco wipe-on?
