question about the finish

Hi Suso, (and anyone else)

Quick hopefully easy question. I've started the break down of my plywood sheets, so far so good. I'm trying to plan ahead and was wondering about the protective coating you used.

I know you reference lacquer in the video but the local hardware store doesn't have it. I'm only able to get polyurethane or varnish (plus the usual oil coatings), would either be ok, or is one preferred over the other?

thanks for the help / advise and plans

hi Justin,
you better go with polyurethane, it is harder than other varnishes, an oil coatings such as Tung oil might work, but it has the risk of contaminating your work pieces with the oil itself.
