Hot take: A friend's party put my finish to the ultimate test

I was at a buddy's place, and someone tipped a whole beer onto a chair I had just polyurethaned. Everyone went quiet, expecting a huge stain, but I just dabbed it dry. The finish didn't even cloud up, which made me look like a wizard. This is why I tell people not to skip on sealants, even for indoor pieces. That awkward moment turned into my best sales pitch ever.

My finish would have dissolved on the spot.

Watched a friend's cat puke on his sealed coffee table. Wiped clean, no mark.
