You may use 3" foam paint roller to eliminate the streaks!

Use a hot hair dryer and heat up the cloudy spot to eliminate it.

Good morning Roger,

The room is about 21c/71f maybe 30% humidity not a whole lot of sunshine where I'm doing this at.
I'm getting better results now after 4-7 coatings, sanding in-between with the 2000 grit. Also, hair drying a bit to not let it dwell.
The small cloudy spots cleared up after further drying.

What can I do to reduce my coatings? I'm working on a cushion now, the wax seems to be interfering. (extreme cloudiness after 2 coatings but keeps improving every coating.) Running out of the aniline76g quart bottle fast.

My process is EffectWax-8.6>Surfactant-3.6>Anilinetop76g heavy duty gloss.


Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Did you activate the cloudy surface after EffectWax-8.6 dries?

Did you activate the cloudy surface after EffectWax-8.6 dries?

Yes, I am activating until I get an oil-like residue on the surface.

[Roger Koh]

OK you do it right!

OK you do it right!

But after applying the aniline topcoat the wax is not melting or do I need more heat? I'm using low volume air with mid heat.
