Wipe on Polyurethane - Oak Bench Seat Project Q&A

Learn about wipe on polyurethane which is a great finishing product. Also, I answer questions about the bench seat build out of figured white oak.

When do we get to see him wipe on the Poly?

I was just thinking about your channel / videos. Went out to my shop, forgot my phone came back and saw the notification for a new video!
I absolutely enjoy all your work. Please keep on keeping on.

That is a beautiful bench, simple, easy to appreciate the wood and nothing else. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a bit confused. Title of the video was Wipe on Polyurethane. Video didn't show that.

Ha! I'm struggling with the FB/Instagram debate as my younger employees tell me nobody uses FB anymore.  Social media segmentation is going to keep us on our toes.

Beautiful bench.  Enjoying your vids, dig the shop, and love the barn.  If I'd only been into woodworking when I bought my home a few years ago, I'd like to imagine I would have built/bought something like you have...but in PA.

Stick with it and it’ll pay off as far as your channel goes. Your film quality and overall “feel” are “welcoming”. I hear YouTubers say it all of the time. To “make it” on YouTube, set tangible goals and achieve them and “WORK!”... Work, Work, Work. Good luck and nice video. 👍🏼

I love that Minwax wipe on poly as well, i did a kids foot stool about 12 months ago and its standing up well. Keep up the good work Jon

[RossMcMurphy]

Great video thanks for taking the time to answer all our questions.

[TheDeadbirdy]

[vincentcardinal]

What a coincidence! I actually thought to search for you on Instagram just the other day. I searched for "John Peters" but quickly gave up since that's apparently a pretty common name.

Instagram is great for woodworkers. Little clips expanding on something really specific... sneak peaks of upcoming videos...I think it'll grow on you! I'll go add you now.

Hope you are still going to post on you tube as some of us older over the hill diehards still only use you tube to watch videos and I like yours very much  

[sidneyanderson]

i am not up with instagram so thanks for staying with facebook, and I love the bench

[finnoskarlangtved]

Nice watching your video Jon, I learn a lot and get good ideas from your work.
Thanks for sharing this with us :-)

[mikesamms]

love watching your videos. keep up the good work.

Thanks. Quick question on 1:25 Minwax wipe on poly, is it safe to have prolong or repeated bare skin physical contacts with the finish once dried ? In other words, is the dried/cured finish poisonous/cancerous to bare skin physical contact ?

[daveburnham]

I'm refinishing an Oak table that looks orange and too nice.I've sanded off the varnish with 40 grit and even went against the grain to roughen it up and bring out the grain.What would you recommend for finishing that would retain the natural colour but protect the wood.I've bought danish oil but afraid that will make it orange again? Many thanks

Jon,

Thanks for the tip on using the Wool Lube on screws in hardwood.  I typically use a bit of beeswax to to set my screws and extend battery life but I worry about doing so when I'm going to stain or paint or in visible areas as the wax might inhibit finish absorption.  I assume this product wouldn't cause that issue?

Thanks!

Wool lube is really great stuff,  buff it out with an old shoe shine brush and it's amazing.

Is a ventilator necessary when using wipe on poly or a simple mask will do??
