Wet looking bench?

[mindtumor]

I am trying to make a wooden bench top lock slick and wet is there anything that will give wood that sort of finish? I tried a polyerthane gloss finish but it just sunk into the wood. Should I put on multiple coats or is there a better way?

hmm

a second coat.....or 5 minute epoxy???

Try smooth-on's clear casting resin.

I agree with Ken, those things should do the trick.
Are you trying to make a nice, finished, glossy furniture piece or are you making a table with random spots of "wetness" to simulate puddles of water, sweat, matter, etc.?

You may be able to look for a "self-leveling" countertop or bar top epoxy.
It's commonly used on wooden restaurant tables, etc. Very shiny and is the equivalent of several coats of varnish. A local craft store may have it.

Take care,
Nick

Several coat of laquer and maybe pool it up at one end to make it look like something just spilled on it?!
