Question
I have an antique dining table (it's wood but I'm not sure what kind)that i am using as a kitchen table. I would love to leave it uncovered because the wood is really beautiful, however, i have three kids who need a place to do homework, projects, play games, etc.
Is there a product that I could use on it (something that dried like a sheet of glass or plexiglass would be great) that would protect it?
Answer
Hi Susan
Nice to hear from you.
It would be every mothers dream to have a kitchen table that was indestructable.
I had 3 kids and now 4 grandaughters. They all use the kitchen table as yours do LOL.
There is only one product we do it yourselfers can apply to get a durable finish and thats oil based poly. I have switched to using oil based poly for hardwood floors.
I feel its just more durable than regular poly.
It comes in high gloss.
I won't say it will last forever, it won't. But no finish will.
But enjoy your kids sitting around the kitchen table. There will come a day the table will be empty. Its a sad sight. It means we are getting old LOL
Great Question
Regards
