So, any quality varnish ( not water based ) thinned with mineral spirits is as good as it gets, at a fraction of the cost.If you’re making over something that will get a lot of heavy use, choose a primer with a shellac base (such as Zinsser’s B-I-N).

Canned "satin" finishes, as marketed by manufacturers, are simply gloss finishes (and all oil finishes are "gloss" finishes) to which a "flattening agent," generally a fine dust of some time, has been added so that the coating dries with a less smooth finish due to all the dirt in it. Another thing to remember is that satin polys and varnishes almost always do not have any UV inhibitor added, so they don't resist UV degradation anywhere near those with UV inhibitors. The purpose of these canned "satin" finishes is to mimic the look of a gloss finish that has had some of the gloss knocked off by hand rubbing with pumice and rottenstone. Urethane, an essential component to the material, is available in a wide range of hardness levels, which allows for polyurethane products to take the place of an equally wide range of objects with less abrasion resistance.Another common use for polyurethane is in the creation of foam materials -- polyurethane's flexibility and wear resistance are particularly effective in furniture applications.
