I have used Zar oil-base poly for 20 or more years. I mix about 50/50 with paint cleanup mineral spirits (stronger than regular mineral spirits), and apply with 1/4 of a blue paper shop towel folded into 1/4s. I like the results and get no runs. It take more coats since they are light coats, but I'm retired and have no place to go so I can wait to apply more coats. Malcolm / Kentucky USA
