Hold on there cowboy...I'd venture you're still about 8 coats short of being able to buff out.
Rattle can poly is way thinner than the stuff folks shoot out of HVLP guns, so it goes on very thin. Unless you're laying it down rather thick (in which case it wouldn't be all that dry after a day), keep scuff sanding between coats and shoot about 10.
Then let it cure for at least 2 weeks (or more) so it is rock hard before you buff. You shouldn't be able to smell any solvents coming off, or be able to dent the finish with your fingernail at all. If you try to buff too early, it will look like hell....tiny scratches everywhere, little gloss.
Thanks for the feedback
I have 6 coats now and do plan on at LEAST 10. I didn't know the rattle-can products are thinner but I shouldve known that...simple physics. haha
I've also read that the spray poly is nearly usable overnight but yes, I'd planned on waiting about a month or more before I started the final steps
again, thanks for listening and helping
