I'm near my last coat for a kitchen table refinishing job. I'm using semi-gloss polycrylic (water-based minwax product) and of course I want a nice clear smooth finish. SWMBO doesn't want anything remotely "toxic" on the table top (like wax) because she's doesn't want it coming off on our food. Being I don't want to use a wax product for the final stage, is it better not to sand at all or is there a way I can do a super fine sand and somehow buff out to a wax-like final shine? If so, what kind of sand paper, steel wool, or wet/dry paper should I use for best results. I think I saw a 1500 wet/dry paper somewhere.... And what do I use to buff-out at the end, if that becomes necessary.
Thanks for the advice.
