I recently decided to refinish a desk I had build a few years ago.
Originally finished with Constantines Satin Rubbing Laquer, it had
a great finished that years of usage had rendered scratched an worn
out.

So a little sanding and a recoat should have done the trick, right?
Nope. It seems that constanines must have changed their formulea for
the finish, for the coat really attacked and ate into the old finish.
Time fo stripping.

I reapplied the finish and it just didn't take. Stripped it again,
and went for a polyurethane finish (feeling like a traitor, BTW!).

What are the opinions of you folks about the best finish, and some
of your best finishing tips?

I highly doubt that Time Inc. they would make me their spokesperson.
