I use oil base poly. I prefer satin but some customers request semi-gloss and a very few choose flat.

Apply the first coat. Let it dry thoroughly.

Lightly sand with 220 or higher grade sandpaper.

Wipe it down with a tack rag.

Apply a second coat.

In most cases 2 coats is sufficient. With some porous species of wood you might need to repeat the sanding, tacking and apply a 3rd coat.

Wipe on poly has not favorably impressed me.

Same for water based poly.

The biggest problem with Minwax poly is it doesn't flow well and may need to be thinned.

Use a high quality bristle brush.

If I have a lot of flush doors to finish I'll sometimes apply the poly with a short nap roller and back brush with a good brush.

Work in an area that is free of dust. You'll want enough ventilation to clear out the fumes but not so much as to stir up dust.

Turn off pilot lights and air out the house to remove flammable fumes before relighting them.
