Hey guys, I am doing a walnut blanket chest for a friend and she said that she wanted a semi gloss finish on it. I was thinking about using the Minwax wipe on poly, but it only comes in a satin or gloss. Asking the question if I could mix 50/50 to get a semi gloss finish. It sounds good, but I have never tried doing that before. Just asking to see if anyone else has come up on this problem before.

Thanks

Never tried mixing. My local ACE hardware has some stuff. It's $13 a quart and they hav it in gloss/semi/ satin. The tables that i just did hav the satin and it went on easy with a brush. Dried fast to but was very smelly. If u don't wanna mix stuff u might give that a shot

Thanks everyone for all the info. I am going to try just the satin poly, maybe 5 coats or so. She works with my wife, and when she ask her what finish she wanted, she said that she wasn't sure that she just did not want it too shinny.
I think the satin will be fine.

Again Thanks Everyone.
