Darryl,i have read that you do not recommend a wipe on finish like watco for veneer work. what do you think of the Maloof finishof wiped on / wiped off, thinned down urethane followed by more coats for build? would this offer enough protection on a diningtable top? would it adhere OK to a surface sanded to a shine(1500 grit)? thanksdean

: Dean, I have used many oil finishes on veneer. I personally dont like them for a variety of reasons but if the client wants one they get one . I do however like and use mostly a wipe on poly finish on most of my work. It takes quite a few coats to build to any thickness so be prepared for many many applications to get a thick film.As far as sanding there is no reason to be sanding to that grit, you will be wasting your time and may actually impede the finish process. I never sand wood past 180 as any further sanding with a film finish makes no visable differece. If I apply an oil finish i will wet sand the second and each susequent coat with 320 wet / dry paperHope this helpsMB

Dear Dean,Ditto on everything Michael said. If thats what the customer wants, go for it, just apply a extra coats since veneer absorbs much more than solid wood.SincerelyDarryl Keil: : Dean,: I have used many oil finishes on veneer.
