I seal with two coats of thin (no accelerator until after these two), followed by two coats of medium for any small gaps the thin didn't fill, two thick for heavy build, then as many medium as necessary until I'm close with calipers (typically 2-3 coats), then thin to smooth it back out and reduce any ridges. Wet sand 800, 1200, 2000, 8k mm and 12k mm, wipe with dna and apply PlastX. All applied with 3/4" (ish) strips of folded Viva paper towels.
Any viscosity will work if you make the finish thick enough so as not to sand through it, and you don't introduce any lint or other undesirables into the finish.
