Without knowing your time zone I don't know how long it is until 9:30. Did you sand between coats? For a smooth finish sand between coats with 220 grit sandpaper. Then use a tack cloth to remove any dust and apply one more coat. I don't know if there is enough time for it to dry before your deadline. If you sand the body you will have a smooth surface for tonight's gig and it will look good except for very close up. Then you can tack and finish after the show for a perfect finish tomorrow night.HELP!!!!!!!!! i need to fix a guitars polyurethane clear coat!?
Kiss that idea goodbye. Paint takes awhile to dry. As you just finished putting on a clear coat it takes 72 hours before it is really dry. Before you can sand it smooth and try again with a thinner coat. Otherwise it will wrinkle.

How about using clear resin. Like the plastic used on surf boards.Buy a kits, mix the two parts and you have 20 to 30 minutes setup time before the plastic hardens.

Can I put a clear polyurethane over white enamel paint? ?

White paint is already dry. are there going to any cracks when it all dries outCan I put a clear polyurethane over white enamel paint? ?
Depends why you want to apply the poly over the enamel. If you are going to then use a water-based poly since it doesn't yellow like the oil based.Can I put a clear polyurethane over white enamel paint? ?
I yhink if you read the instructions on the poly it will tell you that the surface needs to be free of grease, dirt and paint. At least the polyurethanes I normally use do. That tells me you don't want to apply it over paint.
Works well over any color paint. Use a fine brush and use uninterrupted even strokes. Let the first coat dry and repeat once or twice more.


Have done it many, many times.


I like the water based Polyurethane.

What type of polyurethane or sealant can I use to get a hard clear thick cover on a table?

All polyurethane's will do what you ask. Water based tend to be a little clearer,sometimes with a slight blueish cast. Solvent based urethane's are typically a little 'warmer', looking with an amber cast. Obviously, the more coats, the thicker the finish. Two or three thin coats are recommended. A gloss finish is somewhat harder than satin. (It'll say gloss or satin on the can.) If you require a VERY thick finish, use a clear two part epoxy. It's expensive and kind of difficult to work with, but it gives you that 'sheet of glass' look. They often use it with decoupage.

Try using varathane. My husband used it on our coffee table after he restained it.

What is a good clear paint sealer for latex paint that won't turn yellow like polyurethane?

I've painted the floor (plywood) with latex paint and added some flowers along the border. I want to put a sealer on it that won't turn yellow like polyurethane does. Any ideas? This is a covered porch so it needs to withstand the weather that may blow in on it. Thanks for your help!!What is a good clear paint sealer for latex paint that won't turn yellow like polyurethane?
Minwax has a water based version of their Helmsman spar urethane. it's a clear, non-yellowing finish for interior or exterior use.What is a good clear paint sealer for latex paint that won't turn yellow like polyurethane?
Varithane makes a water based polyurethane that doesn't yellow. It is for floors. The only problem is that it is for interior floors. I don't know how it will hold up to the weather outside.
There are non-yellowing products - varnish, you need to put several coats on, let dry well between each coat
there is a exterior water base poly by zar, It will do the job

Can you apply clear polyurethane over a painted wood surface? or does it have to be new wood?

Yes you can, but make sure the paint and polyurethane are compatible. I have had this happen where the two layers actually had a chemical reaction and they melted off of the surface I was painting, plus they can get really hot and possibly start a fire. If you are not sure if they will work together, try putting both the paint and polyurethane on a scrap piece of wood first. Let it sit and see if there is any reaction. This way you won't wreck your project.





Good luck!
