Last winter I put twelve coats of urethane on a kitchen table I made. It was so frustrating trying to get the perfect flawless finish but I did win out. The proper natural bristle brush suggestion is very good advice. What I will add to that is to buy a GOOD EXPENSIVE brush that does not lose bristles, depositing them in the wet finish. For handling the holidays I looked over it very closely using a bright light and reflection immediately after brushing while the urethane was still good and wet so I could re-brush the holidays and still have it blend in. Lots of brush strokes with a wet brush is important. I sanded thoroughly with 2000 grit the next day, then put on another coat. The first couple coats were brushed with a cheaper brush that left bristles in the urethane (Grrr). Then I sprayed on six coats but I wasn't completely satisfied with the results from spraying no matter how far I thinned it. I finally did the last last four coats with a high quality bristle brush using mildly thinned urethane and ended up fairly happy with the results. This was gloss urethane over a large horizontal surface so it was a different ball game compared to semi gloss on window and door woodwork. It seemed to me thinner urethane didn't tend to have as many holidays and holidays will happen in the first or tenth coat or anywhere in between.
