I am closer to finally putting a clear coat on all the birch plywood interior panels I've done and I am currently in the testing-phase of figuring out which finish to use.
I am going to buy a quart of Minwax Water-Based Helmsman Spar Urethane Clear Satin and do some testing with it this week.
I also have a quart of the Minwax Polycrylic Water-Based Clear Matte that I was gonna test out too on some pieces of ply.
I bought the quart of Polycrylic a month ago and then I phoned Minwax recently with some questions and they told me the Polycrylic might get small cracks over time due to temperature shifts (and it is not very flexible) and so I might not get good results for my application (which I explained). They suggested the Minwax Water-Based Helmsman Spar Urethane Clear Satin as a good alternative that is flexible and good with temp swings (and doesn't have a glossy finish).
- Does anyone on this forum have first-hand experience with Minwax Water-Based Helmsman Spar Urethane? If so, I welcome any wisdom you may be able to provide and I have a few questions as well.
Thanks in advance~
