has anyone used minwax polyshades to finish thier bar? it says its stain and polyurathane in one. sounds kinda iffy to me almost like that new paint in primer in one. any thoughts out there?
we just finished staining our 8′ kegger bar with this stain. worked great for us. we used two good coats on the bar top. we had good results with foam brushes. has a good shine and feel to it when dry but we are planning on covering with 2 coats of clear on top of the two coats of polyshades.
That stuff is great for small quickie projects but for something as large as a bar, I’d do the stain step first, then apply an few coats of poly or Envirotex Lite. The problem I see is that the second coat will make it darker. You could probably just do a second coat of poly only.
Remember, stain isn’t paint. You apply it and wipe it off. I have a friend who did their cottage in T&G pine, then his wife jumped in with a bucket of stain and put it on like paint. Yikes! It was a mess!
