   Make it yourself and save a lot of money.  Get a gallon of poly and a gallon of mineral spirits -- total about $30 or less.  MWOP at $9/quart makes it $36/gallon.  I've used MS/Poly mix ratios from 3/1 to 1/3 depending on application.

   I do the same except I use Naptha.  Also mix from 3 parts poly, 1 part naptha to 3 parts poly, 3 part naptha -- depending on application.  Mix as needed, not before.

    

    A bad day woodworking is better than a good day working -- yes, I'm retired!

   I use naphtha as well, especially with higher ratios of poly -- helps the drying process.  If I'm on just an oil coat, I'll use either one.

   I think that was a typo!
