Actually I got sick of waiting for the polyurethane to dry enough to be sanded without gumming up, and said fuck it and halfway installed it in the door.i'm sure the mrs is enjoying em
I had to tap the little trim nails back in & Sarah started squawking because of the noise. She had 5 seizures today and has a headache.
And I'm too lazy to remove the door and carry it all the way back out to the shop just to tap some nails in. So I'll finish it tomorrow.
Next time use sanding sealer. It dries in minutes in a warm room and looks great. Some furniture I made 20 years ago only has sanding sealer on it and still looks perfect. Sand with 00-00 steel wool. If you want gloss don't steel wool the last coat. Never shake a can of sanding sealer or polyurethane. Stir real slow. Shaking makes bubbles.

This was an aerosol can. First time I ever used an aerosol polyurethane. Instructions on the can say to shake it vigorously for two minutes.
I sanded the bare plywood smooth as glass with 60 or 80 grit on the palm sander. It's all sticky and stuff now because apparently polyurethane can't be sanded because it takes 8 years to completely dry. Even though it says "fast drying" on the can.
Fuck it though. It's better than the glass that was there before.
The light over the stairs is a 4 watt LED I put in there ten years ago. I also pulled it's switch out of the wall and bypassed it with a jumper wire so it can't be turned off. This is to keep a clumsy female from falling down the stairs again. So far so good but I got sick of the light illuminating the bedroom through that window and takes a black garbage bag over it on the inside.
I'm kinda glad she broke it because I've been wanting to replace it with something opaque for like ten years. I just wish she'd have waited until I had the shop fully insulated.

I wish I knew what they used in the cabinet factory I worked at for a while before I quit because of deprivation of sunlight.
(seriously, start before dawn, go home after dark. No windows in there.)
I worked in the "paint" shop. A mexican who called me "heel-beely" because of my old truck sprayed them with whatever. Lacquer or something. My job was to sand the finish after it's dried. It would be smooth as a baby's ass after sanding. Then the mexican would spray them again and they were done. Beautiful finish.
I've never been able to replicate that with polyurethane.
Except on my raft stereo. And I never had any intention of having a nice finish on it. I just wanted it waterproof.
I brushed it on in 2007 and that was it. Just normal wiping it clean with a damp rag once a year or so to get the barn dust off of it and today it's smooth and shiny. Like semi-gloss shiny. Looks pretty damn good for ordinary construction plywood that I stained green with fabric dye prior to polyurethane-ing.

I don't think I have any other interior wood working projects on the agenda or I'd try it your way.
I'm not really interested in that kind of carpentry. Just rough carpentry like I've been doing.
Polyurethane is worthless outdoors, btw. The sun turns it yellow and then it chips off.
I use it on my rafts only because I like it's other qualities. I have to store them indoors when not in use, and recoat them periodically.

Ya, anything wood outside needs attention every few years. Teak and cypress are good outdoor woods but the finish still goes bad.
This is a Victorian house for sale in the town next to mine. $750,000. I was trying to find better pictures of the inside. The wood work is just awesome. I made a big oak goose egg knob that's at the top of the stairs on the post. Something you grab onto as your last step. The other one split. This room is nothing compared to some of the other rooms with regards to wood work. If I was rich I would buy it but it pretty much needs a steady part time maintenance person. The grounds are really nice too.
