I had forgot the term, but it was ingrained into me over 50 years ago by my dad. I always rubbed the first coat on with my fingertip. When it was dry enough to peel off, the the second wet coat goes on to join. I've always enjoyed the process. I recently introduced this to a nearly 5 year old great nephew as we are building a Flite Streak Trainer for him to fly. He is looking forward to painting it, and making the engine run.
