Semi Gloss Arm R seal applied with a foam brush. Looks great when it's first applied and still wet. Crystal clear look to it. However, it dries looking like this. You can see the contrast of the dried areas next to the few areas that are still wet. This is my 4th application of it with a foam brush.
Back ground.
- This is poplar I attempted to finish dark. I sprayed water based transtint dye. I followed up with Enduro Clear poly.
- Enduro clear poly was a disaster because I had my hose loose on my HVLP, AND my new Fuji gun was defective, Fuji agreed and is sending me a replacement gun. I wanted to get this top finished in meantime, so I sanded the top with 220, quite liberally. Waited 2 days.
-Thinned the Semi Gloss ARM R Seal with 25% Mineral Spirits and brushed on with foam brush.
This is truly a comedy of errors. I've been using hardwax oils on floors and furniture for most of my woodworking career. I'm really striking out trying to branch out into table tops with new finishes.
