I use clear matte Polycrylic on lighter woods, like maple. I find more glossy variants to have a plastic-y feel.
I recently started using Hassui ceramic coating on anything that needs to be food safe or water resistant. More expensive, but it leaves it feeling like natural wood and beads water
Oh ya I like that polycrylic too. I should start using that again. I like to use Johnson paste-wax after the clear coat it makes it feel and look so professional
Would you use a pretty similar process with Polycrylic?
Yup! Same process exactly.
Thanks. I like the polycrylic option. I love that they have a matte sheen.
