Minwax Wipe On Poly, how many coats?

[mrsamimi]

Hello All!

I got some Minwax Wipe on poly, warm satin, love the material, using a brush to spread it and a rag to remove wet residue after about a minute of spreading.

How many coats would you do? Instructions say 2-3 coats, any advice or experience? I want good protection but at the same time like to complete this at some points!

I guess it depends on how absorbent the timber is, but usually 2 coats does the trick.

It is Sapelle wood from Occre Santisima Trinidad, I have applied so far 2 coats and looks pretty good! Was not sure how many I need for protection honestly, as it is Wipe on.
