I have sanded, sanded, and sanded, applied stain and now cheap online pharmacy am ready for the polyeuethane… anyone know a better way to put it on than with a 3 inch paint brush?
Get a lambs wool applicator brush and a broom handle from your local hardware store. They’ll know what you mean when you ask for it, unless you go to Home Despot.
The application is painless, except for the odor, and the dry time. Dump some poly on the floor, brush it evenly with the lambs wool applicator, repeat ’til done.
Try a long handled roller, should work fine.
use lambs wool applicator only
the long-handled roller should be good. 1/8 to 1/4 nap on a good quality roller. Hand paint the edges. Beware of painting yourself into a corner:-) Lots of ventilation that does not blow air onto your newly applied finish. Allow sufficient drying time. Check directions. Manufacturers often recommend multiple coats. Ask the old guy at the local paint or hardware store or call the 1-800 of the maker and ask. They are often quite helpful. GL
Use a larger brush- but if you want to Roll it, use only a Mohair Roller cover- make certain it is absolutely clean of all dust- wipe it with a tack cloth before you apply Poly, as you go-
