"It also appears that people using Koverall or light fiberglass cloth and Minnwax PolyCryllic with latex colors are coming in noticeably lighter than film as well"
Did I miss something here? Monokote 1.8 oz./sq. yd, Sig Koverall 1.25/sq. yd less adhesive and finish. Can you finish 1 sq. yd with less than 1/2 oz of paint?
It would appear so, at least the light fiberglass cloths will do it (0.6oz and 0.75oz). The Minnwax is water based and leaves very little behind. At the minimum, it is competitive with films and many times more durable. Not to mention looks WAY better when finished.
