Im not to great at applying finishes. I purchased a can of Bullseye Sealcoat and was going to use it to seal the maple bowl then apply some WOP over it ( I do not know how to thin Poly that is why I used sealcoat first). I did not thin the first coat, just put it on with a foam brush and it looked like crap. Let it sit for a week before I could get back to it to sand it back, then thinned a 50/50 mix and applied with a foam brush then wiped off the excess with paper towel. My question is what is your guys technique for using Bullseye Sealcoat? Do you thin it, brush it, wipe it, spray it, how many coats, how do you sand it. One more question, what kind of shop jars do I need when trying to thin stuff like shellac or poly? Should I buy some special mixing gadgets? What do you guys use? Thanks, Jack.
