I put 2 coats of poly on the hall tree last night. I put the first coat on at about 9:30 and it took about an hour to get everything covered. I got the top shelf, sides, front, and bottom seat and shelves. I have not put any on the back yet. The directions on the can of poly said I could put another coat on after 2 hours so I put a second coat on at 12:30. The second coat went much faster now that I had a system worked out. I am going to sand the whole thing down tonight and apply a third coat to all the visible areas. I am not going to put a third on the bottom of the seat and shelves. I plan on putting four coats on the seat and top shelf because they should see the most use. I am also going to be putting 2 coats on the back and bottom just to play it safe. I have read that you should coat an entire project with the same amount to prevent moisture from getting in unevenly but I really dont feel like putting 4 coats everywhere and dont think that I need that much protection in Southern California.
This is right after I wiped it down with a damp lint free cloth and am getting ready to apply the first coat of polyurethane.
1 hour later and the first coat of poly is done. It puddled up a little in the corners but I brushed it out as best I could.
2nd coat of poly applied 2 hours later. Its time for bed.
