I actually used the spray version. The first 3 or 4 coats were sanded back out to pemit
a nice prime to the wood using 220 grt. The fisnish was applied 1 coat per day. The
subsiqent coats were also applied 1 per day and treated using 500 to 800 grit and final
with ultra fine wool, I then used compressed air to remove any residue. The final coat is
of a very high gloss but remains a tad gritty.
