I’m quite impressed with “Upol reface” It was a bit of a bugger to spray but I was using a 1.2 mm spray gun and a 2mm minimum is recommended.
It went on reasonably well, didn’t sag or run at all even tho’ I put it on plenty thick in places. Cleaning up the gun was easy enough, actually most of it just fell off the gun parts after I put them in a tin soaking in acetone. Much nicer than poly urethane which is a bugger to clean.
It was touch dry after an hour and a half but still quite soft yesterday afternoon, this morning it was rock hard. It seems quite nice to sand and with the right gun and a bit of practice I’m sure you could put just one coat on a timber plug, sand, polish and buff it and you’d be away. It looks like it adheres to the timber very well too. We’ll see how it goes I guess.
Here's the fuse after a bit of sanding
