    How many coats of EM8000CV are recommended

    I am in the process of pre-finishing some livingroom tables with Target EM1000 and EM8000CV. My first time using Target products. So far, so good. I really like how the CV sprays - interesting color in the can though - not at all what I expected.

    I just put my first coat of the CV on the pieces and am wondering how many coats are recommended? I looked at the product data sheets and do not see mention of this.

    Typically, with GF HP, I would typically do 3 coats. Is this the same?

    For a typical furniture project, most of these products would generally get the three coat treatment. I used a whole bunch more of the EM8000cv for a large kitchen island project plus the crosslinker, but that's a heavier application for EM8000cv than for most furniture applications. I typically use three coats for EM6000, too.

    It's true that the color of many waterborne finishes "in the can" presents an interesting look. Nature of the beast. It's the end result that counts!
