There was a question on the Roy Hunter stock thread regarding how to achieve a satin finish using a clearcoat finish. I generally shoot 3 coats, let it sit 12-24 hours, wet sand to 320, repeat 2 or 3 times to fill all the pores in the wood, then wet sand flat from 320, 400, and finally 800 grit. Then I apply Maguire’s #2 fine-cut cleaner with a worn grey Scotch-Brite pad in the direction of the grain. I then finish it in the direction of the grain with 3M microfinishing glaze on a micro fiber cloth, buffing by hand until brought to a satin finish. The following pictures show the newly cleared stock, wet sanded to 800, and then hand rubbed out. This process has worked well for me over the years. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
