I am watching videos trying to figure out what I did wrong. I did a fairly think first coat but it took a week to dry enough to sand! It kept pilling up and making little boogers the clogged my sandpaper, even in a warm, low humidity room. I’m about to pull out my hair in frustration, I’m trying to sand my third coat and still having problems, and it’s two weeks into this effort.
@@CheveeDodd I used Minwax Polycrylic satin sheen. Bought a new can, kept it at room temperature, stirred it very well (no shaking), and applied this in a bedroom so it was still a decent temperature and relatively low humidity because it's been well below 0 here in the midwest. I'm about to just strip it all off and re-do with some Arm-R-Seal. I just want a smooth, hard surface to use as a writing and drafting desk.
@@HydeMyJekyll It literally just happened to me and I’ve never had a problem using it. The second I put it on my restored dresser I knew I messed up. I’m waiting for it to dry completely so I can sand it all off & hopefully I don’t have to re stain my top & I’ll just put a wax on it. This can was a Brand new can I wonder if they’ve changed something in it *I only done a thin first coat very light & it destroyed my top
What about doing your style of flooding poly over chaulk paint?
Hey, at least you are applying finish to stuff! I've got several things around here (and the garage) that have yet to be finished.
Get too it! 😋
Thanks! I was wondering if I could flood the polycrylic on some wood earrings for a smooth surface. I've got some testing to do. 💖
I've dipped small parts before. If you can control the drips, it's the best.
Thanks for the tips mate

This happened with water based poly? I've had that happen with oil based for sure. I DO NOT recommend flooding coats of oil based finishes.

That's wild. I've never seen polycyclic gum up and I put it on very thick. That sucks! Good luck on the fix!

Love that t-shirt! Truly West Virginian!
My opinion is talk about the topic of video i.e. ACRYLIC
