Wood Desk Video
Using a water based urethane product and wood filler, the wood refinishing of the desk can be done in about six hours. The water based urethane stain is fast drying and has a low odor. Lightly sand the desk and remove the dust. Wood filler is used to cover up and fill any nail holes.
Be sure to stir the urethane. Do not shake it as this will put bubbles into the stain. Brush on the urethane and allow it to dry for about an hour. After drying, additional coats can be applied. Three to four coats makes for a great finish. The paint brushes used with the urethane can be cleaned up with warm soapy water.
Try this method the next time you have a quick finishing project.
