snoplow I have had sucess useing general finishes high performance poly that you can buy at woodcraft. I have never used Enduro so I cannot compare it. I will say that I found that waiting 24 horus to buff like most people do with Enduro did not provide satisfactiry result. Once I started letting it sit 48 hrs before buffing I think it looked very nice. I have a pen I have been using for a couple months and it has held up good but besides that I cannot say how it will last.
