I've been trying out various finishes lately. This time around I tried Enduro.
I absolutely love how easy it is to apply and having to wait overnight (or two or three days) for it to cure before polishing doesn't bother me. During the application of the sanding sealer and the top coat I was thinking to myself "Wow! This looks great and the application is a cinch!"
But then...
I followed Wayne's instructions word for word and the two pens came out with a satin finish rather than a gloss finish. They also look kind of dingy. I'm quite disappointed.
Thoughts?
Also... Wayne's instructions state to drip the finish onto the pen while it's spinning and smooth it with a paper towel. How much finish actually goes onto the pen during each coat? Does it end up being four or five small drops or are we talking eight or nine big drops?
Thanks,
Paul
