Maybe do a couple coats, sand some, then do more coats?

I got it as good as could, then put 2 passes with spray can poly. It's finally hardening up. As I was rubbing my face on the finish, I could see the little poly fibers developing and I realized that was what I was breathing, makes sense to wear a mask, or not rub it on the face.

It's beautiful! Just gotta sand out the texture. 1000 plus sandpaper or even melamine sponge. gotta let it harden up first though. Then clear again over smooth.

Hope the next coat of poly will cover.... I know Dan erwine, surely I got the name wrong, could fix it with ease

It just isn’t level yet, you can still slowly build it up more, then you should have enough to level sand back and still have plenty of clear to protect the wood and maintain a deep shine once buffed out. It’s gonna be stunning once you get there though.

Did I buy the wrong stuff?

I personally like that stuff, but it builds up slowly as it's thin. You gotta keep the can MOVING and not hose it on or.............drips. Make sure what you are going over with it has at least 48 hours drying. Then you can build that Rustoleum up by doing a coat letting it flash off (8-15 min environment depending) and re-coat and repeat.

Thanks, @Spud , I was reluctant, but here goes nothing!

Try two coats, let it dry 48 hours and have a look. Then give it a light sand to knock back the humps and doo it again if needed

Oh ya............................RESPIRATOR!!!

I just painted some moulding with an oil based primer last night, and after I was done, I just stood there, spaced out and it was 15 minutes later. Sort of like the movie gravity when Sandra Bullock is in the capsule and all of sudden George Clooney comes in from outerspace and wakes her up. I wish I could I remember what I was thinking about, probably was cool. I see they call it a hallucination. I like when George says, at about 3:38 it's time to go home.

Tonight the latex goes on, should have no trouble with that .... right?

Watching paint dry is surely mind numbing

just because the vehicle is water based, doesn't make it totally safe..............
