Looks very nice Brett
Did you thin the KBS or use it straight?
How long did you leave it between coats?
Did you sand it between coats?

Ok, no thinners it is straight from the can, conditions we quite favourable but will probably thin next time..

Left it about 4 hours between coats and sanded after the third coat mainly to remove dust specs etc for a final smooth finish.

2 coats yesterday, two coats today.. so the first two had over night to cure...

Sanded with P320 grit then 1200, unfortunately I have some dust specs on the final coat but should buff out, unavoidable but minimal.

I used an applicator called SHURE-LINE Handi Painter from Bunnings to apply the KBS and found it better than a foam brush to use.
