Waterborne polyurethane is a clear water soluble finish used to protect wood surfaces. It is made by mixing water, resin and pigments. Water-based polyurethane is less toxic and easier to clean up than oil-based polyurethane. It also dries faster and is less likely to turn yellow over time. <\/p>\n
Waterborne polyurethane is available in a variety of finishes including gloss, semi-gloss and matte. It can be applied with a brush, roller or sprayer. <\/p>\n
To apply water-based polyurethane, first clean the wood surface with a mild detergent and water. Then, lightly sand the surface to create a smooth surface for the polyurethane to adhere to. Wipe off any sanding dust with a damp cloth. <\/p>\n
Follow manufacturer’s directions and apply polyurethane in thin coats. Let each coat dry completely before applying the next. <\/p>\n
After applying desired number of coats, allow polyurethane to fully cure. This may take a few days, depending on the type of polyurethane you use. <\/p>\n
Water-based polyurethane is a great way to protect wood surfaces and add an aesthetic finish. It is easy to apply and clean up, and is less toxic than oil-based polyurethane. <\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
