It might be 3/4 of the way across the country, but I'd be there...in a heartbeat!!!

Thanks again Oscar, I really appreciate it.

One more thing...sorry. Just checked the Minwax website, they have a water-based Minwax, that is not the one to use...correct?

Oscar, Thanks again for the thread and the reply, really appreciate that. One last question, is there any curing time, or drying time, that I should wait after applying the Minwax? Simply wipe on a thin layer and leave it alone or wipe off the excess with a clean towel afterwards? Thanks...

Hello Oscar, thanks for the thread and the great information. The work your have done looks great. Just want to make sure I understand what you have done correctly, you wet sanded with 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper, going in a back and forth direction. It doesn't sound like you...
