Hi SPF,
Just waiting for a week or two more so it really hardens up, as I applied the coats pretty thick. So far I just finished sanding from 400 all up to 2000 through the grits. Seems easy enough as long as new paper is used.
When I polish, Ill post my results. I intend to do a full hand polish & machine. If it's anything like oil based, it should come up very glossy but look more plastic/opaque on certain angles.

Does anyone know if you can 2pack PolyU over water based wood filler? I tried a test piece & it's been a week or more & no issues so far.

from the Estapol 7008 Technical data sheet
recommended Wet Film thickness 85 microns ( = 0.085 mm)
recommended Dry Film thickness 38 microns ( = 0.038 mm)
Data sheet http://lpb-dev.azurewebsites.net/Upl...pol%207008.pdfregards from Alberta, Canada

The recommended wet film thickness for Estapol water based Xtra clear is 83 microns, which is near enough the same as for 7008.
and that for Estapol Moisture Cure Polyurethane High Gloss is 100 microns, which is much thicker.
So I'm wondering if you are applying too thick a coat of 7008 which is leading to your problems.
It might be worth a call or email to Wattyl's technical help lineregards from Alberta, Canada

7008's technical data sheet, suggests 10% as the upper limit for thinning.
also, how cold is it where you are working? Could low temperature be an issue.regards from Alberta, Canada

Many 2pac products need to be sprayed with a grounded gun, and need to have adequate fan forced ventilation - given the purpose of 7008 (floors and timber more generally) it makes more sense to say that it shouldn't be sprayed.
It may also suffer from other problems, but explosion hazard is a good enough reason not to spray it.

As I understand there isn't much difference between 7008 to 2pack polyu in the auto trade. I bet it could be thinned down & sprayed no problems with a good setup. If there is explosive risk with spraying, it would be the same for diy spray painters in their garage id imagine.

What do you guys use for filling deep cracks when you wan't it see thru? I tried to use some 2pack clear, but I get occasional air bubbles stuck in the voids & it takes many coats to fill the cracks as it tends to rise up out of the cracks onto the wood surface.
I'm reading about sellys araldite epoxy glue. Might try that & hope its as transparent as my clear method.
