I've turned a dizzy bowl using 10 different wood species and because of how the pieces are oriented, much of it is end grain. I'm finishing with Deft gloss lacquer and I am not happy with the results so far. The picture will hopefully show the low shiny spots after 3 coats and a light sanding with 400 grit. A couple of questions I'd like to throw out there are; should I continue with what I started (2 or 3 coats followed with progressively finer grit sanding) and if I do, how many coats of Deft are going to be too many?? I mean, if 15 coats are needed to fill the low spots will that many coats create a problem later? Also, would another brand of lacquer be better and if so, would it be compatible with Deft?
