I finished staining everything. Once the kids are down I’ll out in a coat of poly, while I drink my wine. tgrimes A said: As many as you want. I do more for high traffic things. Like the end tables have 3 on them. You don't have to sand in between coats if you catch it in between recoat times. And since I didn't know what recoat time was I asked. He said Depends on what varnish you use. Usually it has to sit for a couple hours before recoat and if it goes longer than like 6 hours you should sand. So read your can and see what it says. And if there's any bubbles or waves, lightly sand them out. ETA: If she has to sand use 220 or finer. And try to plan it so she doesn't have to sand in between the first and second coat. Lightly sand. Its easy to burn through the first coat of poly. Dammit! I knew I shouldn't have listened to MH. I put the first coat on last night. I bought 400 grit sandpaper so I'll use that. So I just lightly sand, wipe with a tack cloth and then poly again?

tgrimes your posts have taught me never to buy anything I need to refinish. And I mean that in the nicest way.

Actually if it was just a table or something easy, it'd be fine. It's all the intricate detail of the damn piano and so many pieces that creates all the work.

I forgot to tell y'all that the freakin dog walked across one of the big boards last night. I about cried. I was afraid I'd have to re-sand the whole damn thing. I was able to fix it, although I can still see where it is.
