I'm making a couple of racks for my vinyl out of MDF and I stained them
ebony. I put on two coats of the stain and they look great, but now the
stain rubs off a bit when I pick the cases up and I'm afraid the same will
happen when I slide my vinyl in and out of the cases. What would you guys
suggest? I was thinking of applying a spray on poly, but any other
suggestions are welcome. I'm primarily concerned about the stain rubbing
off, less so than I am about long term wear and tear protection on the case.
Thanks a bunch,
Chris

Chris.. I think I'd at least rub the hell out of the stain with a rag
first...
Seems like if the stain is rubbing off, it's either not drying or just
flaky, and in either case not good to topcoat..

You might try some Minwax rubbing poly... worst case is that you'd rub
it black and it would harden and seal.. might be an interesting
effect, black poly..
