Ive seen how easily norm puts on a few coats of that polyuraphane stuff (sorry about the spelling), ive tried french polish before & got great results on turned items but on a large area it can start getting messy & hard to put on.
The general rule of thumb is to put on a coat of poly, leave it to dry then de-nib it with wire wool right? well thats all well & easy, ive done that in the past & then applied a further coat, however what do you do on the last coat?? ive found if you wire wool it, it goes dull & then needs to be burnished to bring back a shine, but that gets it almost to a glossy piano finish, I like the finish that you get from the brush without burnishing it but the last coat still has slight specks of dust & god knows what else in it & ideally could use a going over with the wire wool or very fine sandpaper.
I was wondering how you all go about this final coat?, some books ive read say apply black bison wax afterwards, ive tried this & it looks like grease over varnish.. :?
