Those who have been following me for a while probably already know my affinity for wiping varnishes. As much as for my own curiosity as everyone else's edification, I wanted to do a side by side comparison between some popular variations of wiping varnish. I've used all of these finishes in the past but I have never used them side by side. By finishing some test boards, I figured I could not only gather information about their application characteristics but also the resulting look of the finishes and how they might hold up to various durability tests. Here are the four finishes I tested:
Minwax Wipe-On Poly - http://amzn.to/2rVwrFI
General Finishes Arm-R-Seal - http://amzn.to/2sfnUuM
Waterlox Sealer - http://amzn.to/2rquBfq
Waterlox Gloss - http://amzn.to/2sfrTaQ
