I have a table from crate and barrel (Monarch), It has a waterbased polyurathan coating but we'd like to add some extra protection. Would this work?

Not sure... The table's care instructions don't mention beeswax, although I can't imagine it would hurt. The wax definitely adds a minor layer of protection and helps enhance appearance. I would get some and apply to a spot on the underside of the table as a test to see if you like it

My guess would be that this would just smear around on anything waterproof. It's basically like a balm and it soaks into the wood.

The table seems to have been applied with a "protective agent" similar to a varnish. It comes with a list of "dos/donts" to maintain it from scratches. My main problem with it is the weak connection between the table and the stand. It has toppled over several times! I just don't know what to do to make it stable and secure.

I think "need" is a graduated term over time. In the assembly manual the manufacturer recommends applying a stain after assembly to protect the wood. I bought Thompson's Water Seal with stain already in it. My recommendation is: "Yes, apply a protective coat." It looks good immediately after assembly unless you have scratched some of the surfaces. The consequential change in color/tone suggests to me that beauty is only skin deep. I believe your Skyfort will last much longer with a good coat of protectant and allowed to dry for 48 hours. The changes between hot summer and cold wet winter will affect the wood.

This is a water based coating. That being said, it is not likely to stick. You may "float" a coat on but it will offer no protection. It will easily chip and wear off. The wood must be dry for this to work

My bar does not have a protective finish on it. When I use it I put a table runner on it and use coasters for the drinks. I think that putting an acrylic or polyurethane finish would be a great idea. I have also thought of purchasing a 'plexiglass" piece to but on the top. I hope that this helps.

I don't know what would be used to waterproof this table....but suggest asking a professional painter.....perhaps something used to water proof decks would work. If so, I would apply 3+ coats before putting the table outside. Also when you ask the professional painter be sure to also ask if whatever is suggested resists sun damage.

Not that I am aware of, this is for coating wood to protect it. Check this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellac

I finished a table I built two years ago, fished with Danish oil then used arm r seal satin. It looks great after two years. It isn't shiny at all but very durable. Use at least three coats ( I did 7 ) with very light wet sanding with 600 grit after the 2 nd coat and between each successive coat. I used a staining pad to apply and it was one of the easiest finishes I've ever used

It's just a small little bottle, I used it for sponging. Not sure it would "cover" a table. Spray paint would work better

I dont' know if this product would do it. I'd look for a polyurethane especially for that purpose.

per the manufacturer, Mcnett, Thank you for contacting us. Typically when coating a fabric in polyurethane, manufacturer's will coat the underside or inside of the fabric. The polyurethane makes the fabric "waterproof." Manufacturer's will also typically apply a water repellent (like ReviveX Nubuck, Suede & Fabric Waterproofing Spray) on the opposite side of the fabric on the outside. This water repellent causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric. It is the fabric's first line of defense. In case water does begin to penetrate into the fabric, the polyurethane coating will prevent it from soaking through completely. It is the fabric's second line of defense. That said, you will not typically apply the water repellent to the polyurethane coated side. Instead, it is usually applied to the outer fabric to help water bead up and roll off the fabric. The funny thing about polyurethane is that manufacturer's use it to waterproof fabrics, but one of the quickest ways to break down a polyurethane coating is by saturating it in liquid. This is the reason the coating is typically applied to the underside or inside of the fabric and it is also the reason why manufacturer's recommend that you don't store polyurethane treated fabrics (i.e., backpacks, tents, etc.) wet or damp. The moisture may cause it to break down. That said, I would not recommend spraying anything directly onto the polyurethane coating. Again, water repellents like ReviveX Nubuck, Suede & Fabric Waterproofing Spray should be applied to the opposite side of the fabric on the outside. I would recommend covering any metal parts, simply because I'm not sure how they were treated or manufactured and because of that, I do not know how they will react to any type of liquids. Covering it with a piece of Scotch tape should suffice.

There's a risk of alligatoring of the topcoat, if the urethane doesn't adhere well. Zinsser's SealCoat (100% wax-free shellac) can act as a buffer between the two, since almost anything will stick to it.

The answer to your specific question is I do not know. I used the product on a coffee table top (cedar) that sits out on the patio with plenty of sunlight and rain. After about six months of regular use, the coating is in perfect condition except for very minor scratches. Please be aware that this product has to be applied to dry material free of oils and grease. Hope this helps.

yes no problem. I would recommend using a water sealer before you put the table in the shower as it would give the teak additional protection against hard water stains.

Hi Emily - The ability to treat polyurethane coated leather is going to depend upon many factors, such as the age of the items and the process that the manufacturer used (there are many different processes and types of polyurethane that can be used). For this reason, we highly suggest you contact the manufacturer of your items in order to get their recommendation. Sincerely, The Leather Afterlife Team at Intervine

I did not put a protective coating on this table - it is in the corner of my shower and gets wet and does fine - I use it to hold my large shampoo bottle and to prop my foot up on while shaving my leg - works great

This is really to be used as a desk blotter. You probably want a larger one for that kind of purpose. But the product itself would protect the table.
