Default Re: Polyurethane Sanding Question

I stuck a piece of veneer on some scrap wood, applied the dye and then applied the sanding sealer as a test. Unfortunately even a light sanding and the dye was lifting, so it looks like I need a spirit dye...

On the plus side I found the sealer filled the grain very well indeed and it felt much smoother after a light sand. With the right dye I could be on to a perfect combination.

I find failure is something that needs to be embraced, anything that requires any level of skill requires at least a bit of failure to get there. In my case a lot as I tend to jump into projects head first whether I have experience or not. I’ve learned a lot of things and have learned them “my way” as a result, with a lot of help from this forum of course !!
