Re: [DIY] Shelf life of Polyurethane

I use kitchen plastic wrap material (Saran wrap) and lay it over the
paint or poly. see that all the air is out and press the wrap material
against the sides too. Cheap way to seal out air that does dry up the
top surface of your material. To remove it pinch it in the middle of
the material and lift it off and away from the sides. You will have
some material hanging onto the plastic wrap and you can either toss it
or wring it out. I usually have a pile of newspaper right next to the
container and drop everything in it and wrap it for disposal.
For 5 gallon buckets you have to use a couple of overlapping pieces of
plastic wrap since (or at lest I haven't found) they stopped making the
wider holiday sized plastic wrap. I have some good quality paint that I
have protected this way for 7 years and its still usable today.
