Anyone have any experience using this stuff? The can says to apply several light coats (which makes sense), but does'nt mention sanding in-between. Anyone tried it?

Should dry fast, are you using a wood dowel to hold them while you spray [?]

On large projects we spray 4 to 5 coats then sand lightly with 220 sandpaper. On small turnings, we sand between coats with 600. We use spray cans on samllturnings and spray guns on large projects. Need good clean spray area and ventilation. It dries quick and will run easily. Good luck with this product. I really like it.
That sounds interesting, I'll try that today. My spraying results in an orange peel finish.Originally posted by J. Fred Muggs
<br />Another good way to use the Deft spray if you don't want much build up to the finish, is to wet the corner of a folded paper towel with the spray, then wipe on with the blank turning. It gives you a layer of protection/sealing while leaving a more natural wood feel to the final product, and it dries in seconds. A coat of good wax or Lou's TSW and your'e done
