no first time to scrape it, i did previously scrape the bench, but now its the table top.
Update, i had re-stained the bench and today i applied a different poly, and i am very happy with the results, so far, lets see in a few hours when it dries how it comes out. This is what i used this time, the triple thick, is well just that, super thick, i could not get a good flow, this stuff is more runny, i will have to do more coats, but seems to be going on smooth.
