Wipe on poly finish

[Iain]

Thought this would be an easy one, thought I would try some yesterday but do you reckon I could find any. A big no.
Funny thing was that Bunnies reckoned it was no good as they used to have but no one ever bought it.
Any ideas as to who stocks it and what is it like. I want to try it on some shelves.
Outer east Melbourne if anyone can help.

Use any polyurethane and thin it with mineral turps until you have easily wipeable stuff.

There ya go matey. Have fun.

Use a soft lint free cloth and don't try to flood the surface. If you feel like experimenting try adding a little pale boiled oil to it. Oh yeah, and don't get it on you cos it aint really healthy stuff to be bathing in.

PS Is it any wonder no one would buy the stuff, it probably cost the same as the regular stuff.

Thankyou or great one, will try that this afternoon.

There have been some good articles in fine wood working about wiped finishes, can't remember the issues though.
one bloke seemed to like manufactured rag like rag on a roll as a wiper.
