Fixing Polyurethane Bubbles, Puddles, Runs and Brush Marks

3 methods for fixing polyurethane bubbles, puddles, runs and brush marks. Applied incorrectly or under adverse conditions polyurethane tends to bubble, puddle, run and leave brush marks. You're not alone, polyurethane is not paint and shouldn't be applied like paint. In this video we will outline your options and review the best approach to correction. Choose one of the methods based on size, thickness and set-up time of your particular flaw. I produced this video in response to repeated questions on how to fix flaws in polyurethane finishes. I spent two months experimenting and in this video I share my results.

Please leave comments and ask questions. I really do love to hear from y'all.
