I'm at the poing where I'm ready to start poly coats. Mamma wants oil
based
because it has a slight color. ****!

Anyone ever hear to dilute the first coat with mineral spirits to aid in
sealing?

Thanks,

I don't know if it aid sealing, but I get a smoother finish after the second
or third coat. I thin about 10%.
