Just an Update
I've since discovered that Min-Wax Satin Wipe-On poly is far superior to Master Gel.
For ease of application and *especially durability and longevity*.
Just sharing info. on some more experience with Master-gel.
I'm did my 3rd coat of Master-Gel on this one:

... yesterday and thought I'd try going a bit thicker and in doing so ended up going over it a second time in some places with a second pass with the rag.
Well, this is how you get streaks with Master Gel.
Too heavy or more than one pass after it begins to get tacky seems to be an easy way to get streaks and inconsistent coverage.
Good news is all streaks were easily buffed out (moderate as opposed to light pressure ) and leveled with the rest of coat 3, using a white scotch brite.
The White Scotch brite is a lighter grit than that light grey,
the light grey supposedly being comparable to #0000 steel wool.
Right now, it looks like I could polish it to final with the micromesh I didn't use on my last build,
but I'm going to do one more coat of MG to fill the very faint scuff marks left by the white scotch brite, and then call it done.
