> Bobby Bobby- I used a good respirator, gloves and a throw away paper suit. I applied more coats than is probably necessary. The product was fairly new when I used it and Steve Smith was still experimenting with thinners. I had a hard time getting a satisfactory finish and then tried a different thinner. By the time I got a finish that I was happy with, I had applied 5 or 6 coats. I think that it would be easier to apply now that Smith has had time to refine the product. It is incredibly durable and still looks great.
