Guys,
It has been a real learning experience. Just when I think I have EVERYTHING I need, then I find out I need SOMETHING else (micromesh pads) LOL. I am at the point of finishing several scales and decided to use wipe on poly. Many people said this is a good starting point. Now I am sure this process varies with wood type. But I am wondering how you you literally apply coats of this stuff. Currently I am putting a dab on a lint free cloth and rubbing it in heavily. I let dry for a couple hours and then sand with 800 grit. I can still see the grains of the wood. I normally rub the wipe on pretty good with a lot of elbow grease. I am wondering if I should "paint" and not rub it in,then sand out the rough finish that dried? I hope this isn't a stupid question. Also when I am done with the wipe on, should I use rouge on the buffing wheel for the final sand? What about sealing it? Thanks for bailing me out guys
