Refinishing MFT3 top

[Woodmatt]

I want to refinish my MFT3 top and I did read a post here some time ago about different types of finish that can be applied.Can anyone either point me in the direction of the post or advise what would be the best finish to apply.

Many thanks

Matthew

I put shellac on mine. Work out very nice and it is fast.

Just curious, but why refinish the top?

Can these be turned over?

Wax, shellac, cutting board oil. It's all good.

You can turn them over as well.

I used two coats of Osmo poly-X and really like it.  Bill

I did it to prevent staining (water or otherwise) and things like glue from sticking to it.

Sorry I forgot to say it is my own home made MFT3 top and I could not remember what I put on it when I first made it.Thanks for the replies, two coats of Osmo Poly X sounds good to me.Thanks again.

I would use a polyurethane.  Using a oil or wax is not a good idea.  The wax or oil can transfer off of your top on your project and make finishing a pain.
