With DIY and woodworking projects, a lot is riding on the final look and finish of your project. You have a vision and you want it to be a certain way. This is especially true when it comes to the sheen level of the wood surface and how the topcoat looks. Polyurethane is the product most people will reach for to achieve a shiny topcoat that protects their wood project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As avid DIYers and woodworkers, we’ve used our fair share of products over the years, including standard polyurethane. Prior to our mindset shift of reducing our environmental footprint, we just bought whatever we found at local home improvement stores. We honestly didn’t consciously think that there might be other product options that don’t potentially have harmful health and environmental impacts when used to finish wood. But then we discovered Rubio Monocoat<\/a> and its product line that not only provides higher-quality results, but also proves to be a more eco-friendly alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the possible health and environmental impacts, cost and time play a big role in why we would choose to use Rubio’s polyurethane alternative, SheenPlus. Let’s dive into why Rubio’s SheenPlus is better than polyurethane and how to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n
