Ok, I'm amazed but then i'm easily pleased.
Just finished the 2nd coat on my new oak veneered doors using Ronseal's perfect finish clear coat.
You get a varnish/paint pad as part of the kit, water based, drys in 20 mins. My doors, frames and architraves now look like those plush hotel/commercial building doors, which is exactly the desired effect.
The only down side was the cost per litre. I'm sure this is a friendly consumer pack which allows them to milk it for all its worth.
* My Question *
It says on the container, "untreated wood may need 3 coats"
How do I decide if I need that 3rd coat?
It's clear varnish so there is no difference in the colour by adding additional coats.
The only thing I noticed after the 1st coat that the varnish really lifted the grain. Light sanding sorted that and after the 2nd coat it was a lot smoother but not perfectly smooth. In other words, I suspect light sanding and then a 3rd coat will improved the smoothness yet further.
Is this reason for additional coats?
