First, I rubbed out the finish with a #0000 steel wool to smooth out the raised grain and a little dust from the first coat of urethane. I discovered the new sprayer blows air constantly and then just adds the paint when the trigger is pulled. It's kind of like carrying around a leaf blower and if there's any dust in the vicinity, it's going airborne. The dust source has since been cleaned up.
I screened off a corner of the basement and rigged a small exhaust fan to exhaust out the window. Not the ideal paint room, but it works to keep the overspray contained.
So with the parts all prepped for another coat of urethane, it's off to the paint room.
Coating # 2 completed. Highlight of the day. Watching paint dry.
Perhaps only one more coat to go?? It's looking good at this point.
