water base polyurethane finishes hold up well?.
A It depends on the brand. Many water base polyurethanes seem to be a half hearted attempt by the manufacturers to have a water base product on the market. They are difficult to work with, often require 4 or more coats, and don’t wear well. A few companies have developed water based polyurethanes that are durable enough to be used in restaurants, and shopping malls, and schools. They are much more durable than oil-based finishes. A 3 coat system is typically used – sealer, and 2 coats of finish.
