    Yes I understand that but sanding sealer does it better

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    i might try that, I built a guitar with a walnut body and sprayed it with acrylic laquer but it's not smooth. The alternative at this stage would probably be to sand the acrylic and spray it again.

    ive always done this paul,most of my sanding in the past has been from 120 grit down to 320,i would typically do it twice, once after the first sanding and then again before the final one. there were a lot of applications after using water,ie chemical and water stains as well as the bleaching process so thats why i did it twice to be sure.

    you can mention it as many times as you like al lol
    are methods differ thats all,i dont use sanding sealer as a finish its full of wax which is why it looks cloudy and clogs the sandpaper.
