using minwax on stairs
Hi all,
Am making stairs for the house from dressed hardwood. Ran everything thru the thicknessor, so all my surfaces are nice and clean.
Got a fair bit of Minwax wipe on poly left over from another job. its only a couple of treads and risers.
Would this stuff be ok for this situation, as in its obviously a high traffic area. Previously I have only used wipe on poly for ordimental stuff to hang on the wall
Thanks in advance,
Jattwww.lockwoodcanvas.com.au
I will never be the person who has everything, not when someone keeps inventing so much cool new stuff to buy.
From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".

Hi Jatt
I must admit I have never used Miniwax WOP but something in the deep dark recesses of my atrophied brain tells me it may not be the ideal poly for high traffic areas. A few months ago I got some Wattly 7008 (it included 500 ml of Part A and 500 ml of Part B) for about $38 from my local Wattyl Trade Centre.
I also got some 7008 Thinner later but it was pretty expensive I thought (it may have been around the $40 mark for 1 litre ???) So if its a one-off job, it may be cheaper to buy a reasonable quality brush and throw it away after you use it.
Cheers

I held my own hand as a small sign of trust, and together I sat on the fence.

I've used it to resurface a dining room table, gave it 7 coats to get a perfect finish. This was 2 years ago and no problems so far. So I think it would be quite okay.
