I have begun to experiment with Waterlox Marine for my mahogany entry door finish but am quickly seeing that it isn’t very forgiving with regard to brush marks and overlap. It is also quite glossy.
I have finished many pieces of furniture, vanity tops, bar tops with Waterlox original and have knocked down the gloss at the end by wet sanding but the panel and mounding profiles on this door will prevent me from doing that well. For these pieces I have always thinned the material and wiped it on to get a more even application.
I have never used the semigloss version of Waterlox but perhaps that would be a solution here but only if it can be cut with mineral spirits and wiped on thin.
Questions:
Can I cut the semigloss Waterlox marine or will the dulling agent not behave properly?
What other users friendly alternatives are there to the Waterlox products for this application?
Thx!
