Default spraying minwax spar urethane

Has anyone ever tried to spray urethane out of a gun rather than brush
it on? If so, what type of spray gun will do the trick. Im working on
some raised panel doors and would rather spray this stuff on than brush
it. Im looking for an ultra smooth finish.


Spraying requires the right equipment and technique. Without
those, it's not at all easy. With both, it's pretty simple,
but then you probably wouldn't be asking the question ;-)

You might want to try a good quality foam brush. I like
the Wooster foam brushes they sell at Lowes. Quick, cheap,
easy, and pretty much idiot-proof. I think you'll likely
get the finish you want (no brush marks) with very little
hassle.

Just don't shake the can or apply the poly in a manner
that's going to create a lot of bubbles. Apply thin, even
coats, sanding lightly between each one, yadda, yadda...
