Like the title says. I'm looking to see what polyurethane you use. I have been using the minwax fast drying clear gloss. I like it but it was the first one I grabbed when I first started the woodworking / CNC stuff. Wondering if there is something better for a similar price. This usually takes me 3 coats with light sanding in between to get the shine I want.

Minwax, Varathane, or Benjamin Moore. I'm trying to avoid fast drying paints and finishes these days. Way back when all paints took from 16 to 24 hours to dry the finishes turned out better and that's because the finish had time for the surface tension in it to pull the surface level before it skinned over. I used some white enamel from Benjamin Moore that had a 16 hour drying time to paint a night stand I made for my wife and the finish turned out beautifully despite a less than stellar spray job on my part. I got it a little runny in a few spots and the paint leveled the runs out before it dried.
