I was planning on using Behlen's Rockhard Tabletop Varnish for my recently completed kitchen table (wormy maple with walnut BB ends). I expect it to get a lot of use and abuse and I think Rockhard is a good choice.
I've read that I should thin it 10-20%, and I was going to apply 3 coats with a foam brush with the suggestions from a FWW article in mind. Should I wet sand between coats? I've also read I should wet sand with 400 between coats, then after the 3rd go up to like 2000. I'm not too sure here.
Also, maybe a dumb question, but I should use the same finish on the entire project (not just the top), correct?
TIA
Edit: After some more research, it seems a lot of people suggest not thinning at all to help avoid bubbles. Maybe I'll do that.
