Hello,
Can anyone shed some light on Arm-R-Seal. I am finishing a corner shelf that is made out of solid cherry. After sanding the entire shelf with 180 grit I used Seal-A-Cell oil base first, and let that dry for two days. Then I lightly sanded with 320 grit sand paper and after cleaning it off with a vacuum I started to apply the first coat of Arm-R-Seal oil base. Letting that dry for 24 hours, I sanded it again with 320 grit sand paper and applied a second and third coat each time sanding and cleaning it. After the third coat was dry, I looked at it and at the right angle I can see lots and lots of very fine scratches that appear to be from my in between coat sanding. I would like to see if I can hide these scratches by adding another coat of Arm-R-Seal, but I don't want to add anymore scratches to it. Is it ok to add another coat without sanding or like some finishes is it mandatory to give it a scuff so the next layer has something to bond to. I'm new to finishing so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
