I'm not expecting to have a perfect glassy coat. I am not using Tru-oil, just the Dingo product.
Spalted maple is also a very uneven timber in the first place, so there are divets and crevices in the grain that would be very hard to fill even if I did use a filler like Timbermate.
I am looking to put a couple more top coats on before leaving it for about 3 weeks before polishing it with micro mesh pads, and super fine car polish.
I'm expecting to still have some unevenness to the finish.
