I just built the 8′ straight bar and I have the 1 gal kit of envirotex lite. However it says in the instructions that since I used solid oak I must seal the bar top first. Any ideas what to seal it with that won’t ruin the ending finish. Also how do I coat the arm rests along the side of the bar top? I don’t want to pour an inch thich finish over the whole thing to cover the arm rest. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Put a layer of polyurethane etc… to seal the wood and seems. Also use wood putty that matches the finish if there are any openings that might let the sealer and envirotex run into. You will end up with cavaties and an uneven surface.
