Crimson0087 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I'm building a gaming table with a recessed play surface...the walls of the recess are oak and they flex ever so slightly...I'm going to blue a piece between the wall and the table apron to secure but it will likely have a little give...what is a good finish that won't crack under flexion...it shouldn't be much but some...will polyurethane work or is there something better ..

Chestnut Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 All woodworking finishes flex. This isn't something you have to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 The poly or varnishes labeled "spar" are intended for applications where are little extra stretch is necessary. Like boats. @Chestnut is correct, all common wood finishes will flex, even epoxy. You probably don't need anything special for your table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
