I just read that with water based poly you should use a
base coat. After you apply the base coast do you sand
before putting on the first coat of poly?

Thanks

the main thing you need to know about water based poly
is that it will turn out looking like plastic and fake.
And milky looking if over a dark wood. Use some real
floor finish if you want it to look like something.

water base can turn soft if exposed to water for a while.

oil based is far better choice

Wrong: Try it.
