Suggest dewaxed shellac to be safe. Zinsser Seal Coat is one or spray
cans.

I have built a couple of small sized 10-drawer chests. 18"W X 18"H X 10"D
I decided to use the Minwax Polyacrylic finish on it. I have tried my best
to coat the tops without leaving brushmarks.

I bought the best water-base brush I could find, and I have tried at least
6 coats and still have not been able to coat it without leaving these
marks. I have even gone against the advice on the can, and thinned it out,
for a couple of trials. Nothing seems to work. I now have them sanded
smooth again with 400 grit. I don't seem to have this problem with
Polyeurethane, but I am afraid to coat over the water base clear with the
polyurethane now.

Does anyone know if the polyurethane can safely be used over the water
based clear coat. Thanks, Ray


Put on a coat of Shellac and then the varnish of your choice.
