I just finished a cue with yet another water borne urethane finish. I tried it just for the hell of it. Of the 4 I have tried, it is the best I have used so far. It gives about 5 mils for 2 coats. I put it on with a foam brush while spinning about 120 rpm. After I swirl it on, I go back over it touching the brush's beveled edge to it every 2 inches to remove the rings. I put on 2 coats and let it harden overnight. Sand it and put on 2 more coats. You may not believe it but it looks like you sprayed it and I could polish and buff it with out sanding.... it is that smooth. You can spray it if you like. It can be used as its own sealer but from my experience water borne sealer doesn't penetrate as far or stick as well as others. You must wait an hour between coats and no more than 2 coats per day. It takes longer than other water borne finishes to dry. Because it dries slowly, you have time to go back over it and play until it is smooth. It sets up in a few minutes but is still sticky 4 hours later. The long dry time is probably why it flows out so flat. Wait for at least a week before sanding and buffing. It is hard and has uv protection. Has anyone else tried it????? Kim
