i’m wondering how you can shine out a hotcoat to give a glossy look to it. what steps?
Same as gloss…
Most important is how well you brush on the hotcoat, how well the surface below is prepped, and how well it comes out.
Only problem is sometimes, the weave of the cloth shows thru, but it’s covered with hot. When polished, the weave still shows, is still covered, but possibly the customer doesn’t like that look.
For me, weave showing seems kinda fast and slippery, so I usually only sand 400 on my hotcoats, some light sureforming on the rails and maybe laps.
