This is what I’ve been doing.
The drawers that I refaced using the oil-based polyurethane had a slighlty creamy, antique look to them whereas those I did with the water-based polyurethane were pristine white. What’s more even days after doing them they still ponged! The smell was giving me a headache so I ripped it all off and started again with water-based poly.
You can see the difference between the two finishes below.
Anyway now my drawers match, don’t smell and look much smarter than they did. I’m happy.
I really like the look of those drawers. One question. what’s “ponged?”
I’m still working on the baby blankets………..it’s killing me……lol.
