spray can or brush

installing new laundry room cabinets. oak, stained a darker red mahogony. stain is drying overnight and will need a urethane coat tomorrow.

i dont want to take the time to hand brush the urethane and dont have a sprayer. are the urethanes in the spray cans at the big box stores gonna give me a decently even semi-gloss cover if i hit it with two delicate coats to avoid runs or is it a mess waiting to happen?

Buy an extra can and try it on the back of the doors first so you know how it is gong to react.
Also you can take the doors off and spray them horizontally and not have to worry about runs.

I did the cabinets in my old house with the finest, closed-foam, roller at Home Dep...
It came out pretty smooth...(slightly textured, but very even and consistent)...
JMHO....

About 20 years ago I tried spraying polyurethane with a Wagner power sprayer onto a table top....what a disaster.  I ended up thoroughly cleaning the Wagner and returning it....I didn't want to own that thing.

Maybe they have improved those electric sprayers over the last 20 years......

A basic small household compressor (~$99 @ box store) and a small sprayer (~ 6 oz. cup for $35 or so) will do a worlds better job for you than a rattle can or especially a brush. (only use a brush on garage/shop cabinets dude !)  Also, a rattle can does not cover nearly as well and the cost of them gets to be prohibitive because you need so many to compete the project adequately.  The total cost of getting the compressor and sprayer now, assuming you do not have them,  will probably be a bit more than the cans but the end result will be well worth it, and you will have the comp & sprayer for other things later...like painting your bike.   Smiley
If you really want these cabinets to look NICE, get the tools.  Even these inexpensive tools can make you look GOOD.   Wink
I have done this again and again .... trust me.
And do like suggested before, start on the backside of the doors.  Practice to develop your technique before doing the front.   Cool
