Minwax coating, water or oil base?

I think it was Herb who said to use oil base, not water base but didn’t give a reason. I had some water base set up in the cup about 1/8" thick and it seemed to be touph and strong. I’ll go buy some of each to test but would like to hear of any experiences/comments, thanks.

Hey GTFD,

What were the results of your test? Interested to hear the results!

I went with U-POL #1 in a spray can, worked great, next time I’d use the qrt. can with a sprayer. A poster mentioned that upol has poor solvent resistance which could become an issue with our common use solvents. One spray can just did my 8 1/2’ longboard.
