I sanded with 220 and stained the Mission Style Mantel on Wed. Looks

looks even better. Can I rub the poly with 0000 steel wool or would you
use something else. Like to get the finish a little smoother, although
its very smooth now, but would like something along the lines of a

glass

Try a brown paper bag ... won't hurt and may be all you need.

I'll give that a try. I don't want a gloss finish that's why I used the
Satin Poly. I probably used the wrong term, "glass" finish. Just want it
super smooth not high gloss. Would steel wool take to much poly off or
just dull the finish?
