Well, I spilled my can of semi-gloss polyeurethane varnish, and I'm going to replace it asap. What I am wondering is:
A)If i get the glossy (I had semi-gloss) will it give me a glossier finish with fewer coats?
B)what are the drawbacks to glossy poly (I like shiny, so that's not a con)
C)It seems that the things I have varnished with Danish oil (at school) look a bit nicer, would it be worth it to also pick up a small can of Danish oil as the initial coat to bring out the color? I realize it increases waiting time before utilitarian usage.
Thank you
