Hi, I’m in the precess of finishing (for the last couple of mos.) and old oak table.  I want to thank all of you for the help that you have given me.  And now , I have more questions.  I am trying to get a semi-gloss finish on the table top.  I have been using minwax poly but decided to try wiping on the most recent coat.  I reduced the poly with naptha (I’m not working in a pristine environment and liked the quick drying time).  The varnish wiped on nicely but when it had dried it was closer to a satin finish rather than a semi.  Also, it didn’t ‘feel’ good.  My hand didn’t glide over it and want to touch it.  Any suggestions?  Should I thin it with something beside naptha?  What won’t change the gloss?  Thanks in advance, Su
