Wipe on Poly is my go-to! Make sure you choose the 'satin' because glossy will look bad. It's quite easy to use. Here's how I do it :
If you get all the surfaces that's good because then the wood is impervious to moisture and will not be able to warp. This coating is also water-resistant to spills. One thing Is that the lid always sticks to the bottle with this brand and can be hard to remove. Another user here has suggested to me using vaseline on the threads of the lid. IDK. I always have to use tools to get the dang lid off.
Post pics when you're done! We would love to see it.
Thanks for this! The process is pretty similar to what I’ve seen some people on YT recommend. I’ll definitely share some photos when done.
