Is this product suitable for applying to top of a dining table if it is finished properly with polyurethane finish?

The adhesive used on this veneer is extreme aggressive, and will stick to anything. Having said that, I don't apply veneers to topcoated surfaces. If you applied the polyurethane finish yourself, and are certain of its durability, then you might try it. But I strongly suggest that you sand it with a fine grit sandpaper first for maximum adherence. Make sure to clean really well after sanding.

I think it should work well for your table. I suggest you check online for a short video for properly installing PSA veneers and follow the instructions. I did and it worked very well.

Yes, I finished 2 pieces with it, painted one and stained and poly the other and both look great.

Yes... I used mine on the top of my entertainment center -where the TV sits. After you apply the veneer, let it sit for a day or so then sand it (if needed along the edges) and stain it. I used regular stain, but polyurethane would be better for surfaces that come in contact with water.

If you were to use this on varnished surfaces, it might tend to seat on the surface and get gummy. It is best used on open grained surfaces. It is really a form of rub on varnish that needs to penetrate the surface. I have had very good results using it on old, cracked varnished surfaces like you would have on antique pieces. Use several light coats, never try to put a thick coat down. Rub the excess off between coats after it has sit for 15 to 30 minutes. I have a boat with an open grained teak interior that I use this on and it looks great. I have built numerous pieces of furniture made from pine, teak, cherry and other woods and find that multiple coat of this (6+) provide a very attractive finish that holds up well with a single recoat every 6 months to a year instead of wax or furniture polish.

Sauder products have a laminated finish. You cannot paint over the table if you don't like it, sorry.

would love to be able to answer your question, but i've never used gel top coat. all i can say, is that i used arm-r-seal to finish a kitchen island. as other reviewers recommended i did smooth, all in one direction coats. it came out fabulous. spills bead up and are wiped away without stains left behind. to me........this is one of the best products i have ever used to seal furniture. the satin finish is perfect.....not too shiny but has a great smooth feel. since using it to seal my island, i have painted, applied a minwax to weather/distress my furniture and topped it with arm-r-seal and they look better than store bought. good luck in your project. hope my comments helped. would love to be able to answer your question, but i've never used gel top coat. all i can say, is that i used arm-r-seal to finish a kitchen island. as other reviewers recommended i did smooth, all in one direction coats. it came out fabulous. spills bead up and are wiped away without stains left behind. to me........this is one of the best products i have ever used to seal furniture. the satin finish is perfect.....not too shiny but has a great smooth feel. since using it to seal my island, i have painted, applied a minwax to weather/distress my furniture and topped it with arm-r-seal and... » Read More would love to be able to answer your question, but i've never used gel top coat. all i can say, is that i used arm-r-seal to finish a kitchen island. as other reviewers recommended i did smooth, all in one direction coats. it came out fabulous. spills bead up and are wiped away without stains left behind. to me........this is one of the best products i have ever used to seal furniture. the satin finish is perfect.....not too shiny but has a great smooth feel. since using it to seal my island, i have painted, applied a minwax to weather/distress my furniture and topped it with arm-r-seal and they look better than store bought. good luck in your project. hope my comments helped. « Show Less

It should work just fine. You will need to de-glaze the surface (or sand with 150-grit sandpaper) before applying the varnish to aid adhesion. This product yellows, but it is transparent, and the underlying surface will be visible.

It is Ok. with stain, but I didn't try it with both lacquer or polyurethane. Dr. Eng. Rafik M. Fawzy

This is not a substitute for varnish,lacquer, or polyurethane. It is a good sacrificial layer on top of them.

It is better off to ensure that you remove any sort of paint, scratches or dents and such through sanding and leveling prior to applying polyurethane. To answer your question in a few words, yes that would work.

I am thinking you can use it on a newly stained table. It is very gentle, no chemicals.....It may temporarily darken the wood but after applying you wait a few hours and then wipe it off. It really is so great on my wooden counters which are unfinished. If the wood is sealed with polyurethane or something like that, the cream wood just lay on the top and not penetrate the wood. I don't believe a stained wood would be a problem as long as it not sealed with anything else.....

I have used it on my oak dining room table. Gave a very nice finish. Noticed that when spills of liquids happen, they are easy to wipe up and do not soak in the wood. What I did before using it on the whole table was to try it on a small sample edge of the table - waited a few days - wiped it with a damp cloth to see what happened, etc. That way I was testing in the same wood finish as the table top, without risk to the whole table.

I wouldn't use this for coating a a piece of furniture say a bar or a table if you go to- www.creative-wholesale.com they have all sorts of finishes Cheaper than Amazon!!! Sorry Amazon I still love you!!! LOL

I'm sure you could paint this table. I would suggest sanding it a bit, and maybe even using a primer. There is not a thick polyurethane seal on it, so a light sanding would do.

Sure just make sure to dry the surface when your done. You will like this product. I have it on my kitchen and dining room tables.

Yes, it should work. Suggest you spread it evenly on the piece, light layer and a little on the table "gap. Be ready with a wrung out rag to wipe away excess glue after you press the piece into place. If you can gently clamp the piece in place while it dries/sets, great, but if not you might want to use that blue painters tape to hold it in place.

Yes, table top has very smooth finish and I used it on hardwood floor without problem.

Pretty much any indoor/outdoor polyurethane spray. There's like four finishes from matte, satin, semi-gloos and gloss. Pick your poison.
