Varnish

Quik tip

Varnish users...purchase some cheap paint filters to strain your
varninsh before AND after use. I've also used panthose to strain
laquer. This to keep out contaminates.

I was reminded of this browesing the last issue of American Woodworker...a favorite.

i have a bay window with a birch seat board.the stain color i used was a two part mix.i then applyed four coats of minwax fast-drying polyurethane.this morning i woke up and found that my cat had left five two inch scratches on the seat board.is there anyway to fix this problem.

Sand off the plastic finish and refinish it with something that can be repaired more easily. I would recomend danish oil. Under the same conditions you could have just wiped on a new coat of oil and be done with it.

If the scratches are into the raw wood you have a real problem cat.

Peter,
I've seen a pick up in town with a licence plate frame that says, "Cats flatened while you wait." ;)

If not Danish oil, I'd recommend fabulon floor finish (not urethane).
