    [quote=”Andy T” post=18651]Looking good Tommy.

    I really love that 414 clear, but it’s a bit on the expensive side for me. Should give you a great finish though.

    What poly have you used? Reface?[/quote]

    hey mate hows it going?

    the poly was lesonal i gave it 2 coats and also a coat of lesonal epoxy under that !

    should be a good base now!

    Looks good.

    My only question is why you would bother clearing it at all?

    [quote=”Ben” post=19955]Looks good.

    My only question is why you would bother clearing it at all?[/quote]

    as i put 4 coats on and it has a little urathane wave riplle so i was going to block it out so its nice and flat and clear it

    what do you thinks best ?

    nick
    April 10, 2011 at 4:03 pm #30260

    well you could block it flat and then polish it.

    or you as suggest block it flat and clearcoat it, though you will probably still end flatting and polishing.

    You will get a bit more depth and flatness if you block and clear

    Then flat and polish, but there is another good few hrs involved there.
