Okay, after all the praise and videos for WTF, I decided to get some to try. And for the life of me, I can't get anything but frustration out of it.
I've basically used the method shown in Ed's video, except using paper towel instead of sponge.
I tried it out on purpleheart. I get an extremely uneven coat with practically no build or gloss; if I attempt to polish it later, I end up cutting right through it back to the wood well before it approaches a nice shine. I tried putting on 20 coats, no dice. I sanded back to wood and tried again repeatedly, trying to vary how heavy or thin a coat I put on, time between coats, and so on, with no improvement.
Shop conditions are a little bit chilly, probably mid-to-low 60's. Would this cause poor performance?
Could my troubles be the result of it freezing? It hasn't been frozen since I got it, but I don't know what might have happened during shipping.
Any ideas? I tried e-mailing the vendor and got no response.
