I use a rag to apply it. don't let it puddle up. a couple of weeks between coats. You will see the grain fill up. I like 4 coats of the pure depending on the wood. I also do a light sanding between coats with 600 or so. Buff it with a rag or clean buffing pad at the end. It's a satin finish. If you want a little more gloss buff a little paste wax on it. It's been used on boats for thousands of years. I use it on custom furniture and very expensive conference tables. It is a golden color so it will slightly darken the wood. JMHO.

What do you think of this ? What solvent do you recommend ?
