Thats the exact product I switched to. I first tested Minwax urethane and it provided a very nice high gloss finish but was a real pain to work with in the cool damp air. I switched to varnish and that was better to work with but was not happy with the finish. I asked a couple of painters at a job site and they all said use Shellac. I did the last piece with it and love the look and the ease of use. Now I just need to get building.

Good Choice!

You can even wet sand it between coats. It puts out a luxurious sheen that can't be matched by urethanes - which tend to look plastic-like.
