Guys and gal, go easy on me...
_I_ know how to finish wood. _Re_finishing is an entirely different ball game.
I have a pal who did his oak stairs with Minwax water based poly. It's ugly, the wood is simply dead looking. Can we go over it with oil based poly to add some ambering, possibly with Seal Coat in between?
This guy is building me a staircase, I'm fixing his finish. I don't normally use any of these products.
