Ben Tebbens Scott, thanks so much for the fabulous video tutorial!! Such great great information.

I was a bit confused about what you said at the end about the last coat determining the “sheen”. I looked back at your first video and it appeared that you used the “satin” for the first coat which I bought and am actually waiting on it to dry as I type this. Is there another product that you would suggest to use for the first and second coats? I am actually looking for a finished “satin” coat. I was a little confused about that part.

Lastly is there a “drying” time between coats, how do I know when it’s ready to apply the second coat? I may have missed that…thanks so so much for this great info. Wishing you the very best, Ben Tebbens.
