I'm looking at getting a gloss black finish on some wood, using a clear gloss poly varnish on top to achieve this.
Options are matt black paint or fiebings black dye, and then poly varnish. Paint i assume will need a primer, so thats another stage , 3 in all with paint Fiebings will go straight onto wood, and then poly over that.
I dont know which will give the better uniform finish for the poly. Fiebings looks like it will definately be the easiest to apply, but i done know how uniform / patchy this stuff is. Heard good things about Fiebings.
Not as messy as spraying, either.
Which to choose ...anyone with experience ??
The other question is does polyurethane varnish need flatting between coats ? I assume yes, but not sure which grades of wet n dry are needed
