: Takes 5 coats and each has to tack before the next is applied and you

Hi Bill,

For the Azure I applied three coats over two days: First in the AM, the second in the PM, with the last the next morning. I thought it sanded fine. I even sanded between coats with some 180 to knock off the brush strokes. It's not easy but it is possible. I was able to sand and polish it to a satin sheen after a few days. I used MAS resin, about 5% aerosil and 15% hBN.
