I decided on a water based polyurethane for a dining table after reading about it's compatibility for such a use. Problem is it's a real bitch to put down, way too fast a setup time, air bubbles. Just for the hell of it, I tried an oil based polyurethane from Minwax applied with a good quality sponge brush on a lazy Susan I made for the table and was very pleased with the results. Will this take the day to day abuse that the acrylic will? Thanks in advance.

Oil based varnish will wear better than a water borne acrylic. It will also handle the normal cleaning products better. Next time try a non -poly varnish you might be pleasantly surprised.
