Bill,

A question about the 2-part urethane I bought. (It's Original KlearKote Transparent 5185 with a 4.4 VOC and the medium hardener for a pot life of 8-10 hours.)

All the information says to spray it. I don't have any spray equipment, so I'm hoping that it can be applied with a brush. I had planned to buy a bunch of those inexpensive spongy brushes.

What's your experience say?

Thanks,
Richard

Richard, I'm not familiar with that particular brand, but experience tells me that similar products usually have similar properties. The "stuff" I'm using is also made to be sprayed, but I brush it on in the beginning.Two coats to lay up what ever coveringI'm using, being sure to let it cure between coats.Then a light sanding with 180 grit. After that two more medium coats either brushed on or sprayed on followed by block sanding . After that I can prime or paint depending on whether or not Ineed hide any small imperfections. Thats pretty much it.
