The proper practice for producing a satin clear finish is to use a quality gloss coating with UV protection and then flatten the gloss by hand rubbing when it's dry with rottenstone and/or pumice or a fine Scotch-brite pad to obtain a uniform satin finish.

Spandex is a particularly unique polyurethane, with both a urea and urethane chemical make-up, though polyurethane is often used in paint applications. I custom designed it to have two big cabinet doors on the left and right ends, and in the middle are two push in pop out drawers. In paints and finishes made by the Minwax company, they refer to their polyurethane line as Polycrylic. The purpose of these canned "satin" finishes is to mimic the look of a gloss finish that has had some of the gloss knocked off by hand rubbing with pumice and rottenstone. One form of polyurethane is used in many paint products of varying uses -- one company, MinWax, refers to their line of polyurethane-containing paint products by the brand name Polycrylic.This may not be a big deal with models that are never placed in direct sunlight, but no professional yacht painter worth their salt will ever use a satin varnish on anything that's going to be exposed to direct sunlight. If all is well with this, then you should be able to go ahead on your cabinets, but if not, at least it's only the sample that's messed up. Seems that Minwax is fully compatible with artist oils, and to be sure of my color (after 'force drying' the test piece with a blow dryer) a little clear varnish was applied over to get the sheen of the pre-finished flooring - and the color would be 'flat' without the top coat of varnish.

So, any quality varnish ( not water based ) thinned with mineral spirits is as good as it gets, at a fraction of the cost.If a few days go by, the turpentine (which assisted penetration of the linseed oil) will have 'out-gassed', leaving the linseed oil to cross-link by the action of the dryer. But while you may know how to paint a room and how to paint wood furniture, painting IKEA furniture can be a different beast entirely. For application, depending on the surface, I keep it in a plastic squeeze bottle and put a little directly on the surface and spread it around with a soft cloth, eventually wiping off all the excess. Urethane, an essential component to the material, is available in a wide range of hardness levels, which allows for polyurethane products to take the place of an equally wide range of objects with less abrasion resistance.

In fact, I used a low-angle carpenter's chisel to 'holy stone' the deck (gently, as to not compromise the original protective layer of varnish) - and I'm amazed how much stiff came off to reveal the beauty concealed below. at least not until you hand rub a whole lot of coats and build some depth and then rub to a very high degree of smoothness.

Right now, I'm restoring a very old Gorch Fock model that had the deck and masting coated in varnish 'back in the day'. I used to like the 'Minwax of Old' for general woodworking, but it has been significantly re-formulated to comply with VOC reduction . Allow as long as you possibly can for the sealant to dry before assembling and using your piece of furniture.If you’re making over something that will get a lot of heavy use, choose a primer with a shellac base (such as Zinsser’s B-I-N).
