I've been at church bazaar for the past 8 hours, so sorry I could not get back to you sooner.

It is expoxy, so it does have a smell to it, but not very much. I am sure it is a low VOC. By comparison, I do use the System Three 5 min expoxy and that has a pretty strong odor to it. But then again, it is 5min and not a 6-7h harden that a self levelling would be.

Yes it does cure water clear. The colder you use it, the slower it hardens. I have used it in my shop in the winter time and that is only 14-16c. I mainly use it in the summer time though.

I have used it over water based stain without any issues.

They do have quite a few different ones that offer. But i see you have gone with the system three. I might have looked at Aristocrat High Gloss Coating as they have some with a UV additive. I haven't used that though so I can't say how good it would be.

take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGxVikwTK1A

No worries! smile There are a lot of choices. I was considering your previous recommendation, or the system three mirror coat, but then found a video of a guy finishing turned bowls. He used the clear coat applied with a scrap of towel and nitrile gloves. Looked pretty good and he showed how much control he had on a curved surface. I was sold. At this point I'm afraid of screwing something up after all this time invested. Taking the cautious route. You saved me $50 though vs woodessence. smile

Got rolling on further sanding and bondo patching mdf screw holes. Nothing pic worthy. Might get into color tomorrow.....

there are so many ways to get to the end result that you are looking for. The hardest bit however is getting over your own ability to see all the things that screwed up. You are the only one that will see them.

The youtube video i posted for one real point. If you get bubbles in your finish, the best way to get rid of them is something you probably would not think off. A blow torch. It will warm up the air in the bubble far faster than the liquid and will pop. Really a good trick but scary the first few times you do it.

I think the hardest part of these projects is waiting for that just right day when the sun is warm and the wind is still. Up here we call that day summer and we have a picnic.

Its hard to let things go. I know exactly what you mean. Two whole weekends sanding and spot patching. Eventually I came to settle, as they will never be perfect. smile I technically could have stained yesterday, but my wife made me stop. I guess I looked wiped but my mind still wanted me to push on. Getting old. Lol.

Not familiar with that one Matt. This one must be pretty much the same from the look of it. Mine is the 4512. Wired for 240v operation. Smooth as silk. smile I'm not a big fan of tablesaws. This one is sturdy and quiet so it makes it seem safer somehow.
