I'm talking about the finish coating not the exclamation for an unexpected or unfortunate event.
I found some WTF in my finishing supplies recently, forgot I had it. Never did much with it after I got it because I prefer to spray my finish if I don't do an oil finish. Decided to try it on a small piece I was messing with so I applied 6 or 7 coats. Used a makeup sponge to apply, tried to keep it smooth while applying. Sanded lightly around coat 4, then applied the final coats. Left it overnight to harden. Leveled it the next day but managed to sand through it in a couple of spots and decided not to fix it. Buffed it out and called it quits.
So for those of you who use it routinely please advise on the following:
How many coats are typically applied to be able to safely level the surface?
Do you apply carefully or just slop it on to level later?
Do you do any sanding between coats?
Do you use a sealer?
