Prepping and staining a wood hand rail with Renner 2K poly. #realwood #haandrail #custom #woodworker
What happens here
Repeat the clear coat application and sanding process multiple times. The video specifies applying a total of 5 coats of Renner 851 2K Poly, with a 10 sheen. After each coat, allow it to dry to the manufacturer's specifications, then lightly sand with an Ekasilk Sponge and wipe clean before applying the next. This layering builds up a durable, smooth, and deep finish. The final coat typically does not require sanding.
Goal: Build up a durable and smooth protective finish.
