DKAudio is on a distinguished road
I stained yesterday and it looks great. I am going to wait a week (have to paint walls anyways) before I polyurethane. I assume since you didn't say no, that polyurethane I got is good? I do not want to have to do this again in a few years.

This is what I was going to do, please tell me if it is alright.
Friday night do first coat of poly, wait around 7 hours and put on the second coat, wait 7 more hours and put on the 3rd (final) coat. Like I mentioned above, according to the can directions I can avoid sanding if recoats are within 8 hours. Does this sound ok? I assume I can safely walk on it within 7 hours to do the recoat?

When applying the poly do I need to use a new lambskin pad with everycoat?

Finally, when can I move furniture back in? The can says avoid heavy traffic and rugs for at least a week. Cures fully in 14 days!

Sorry for trying to be so specific but this is my first time and I want it to turn out great. So far so good. Thanks Hank (right?)
