Urethane brush suggestions

I did some A/C plywood for my boat. I stained one side, and now it is time
to put some clear urethane gloss on it. I want it to come out shiny with
few brush strokes or bubbles. What is the best brush or roller to do that,
and any other tips you may be able to offer. I COULD possibly even spray
it, if I can find a clean pot.

If applicable, if your shop can handle a little moisture, spray mist
the area (not your boat), lightly, with a water hose (nozzled), to
keep down any dust and off your project, until it dries (to touch).

Don't roll it.

You can pick up a Purdy china /natural bristle, assuming that this is
oil based poly..

You can also wipe it on using lambs wool, rags or paper towels.

Soak the brush in mineral spirits or acetone when done... For fewer
brush strokes thin with mineral spirits.

You must do both sides since the moisture on the boat will cause it to
curl if you only protect one side.

Thanks much. I would have only done one side. It is out in the shop right
now, but I think it is Varathane brand. I do know it was spendy.
