Stain question

Sounds good.

I'd tack cloth again before poly-ing.

Foam brush for the poly. Makes it easy to flow it on. Might want an assortment of them...or at least say a 2" and a 1/2".

You can keep them wet between coats in a plastic bag...or just toss and get a new one for each coat.

I like the 220 scotchbrite pads.
