    problem with acrylic over wood the clear will take ages to harden so every time you try to polish it you'll get fingerprint marks or even lay it on anything you will get makes from what you lay it on in it and it will also make everything under it soft can be a real pain even if you keep it in a warm place the best you'll get is just hard enough to polish in about a week, if you still not hard in a month you got some problems with it acrylic is simple to use but its not very forgiving can make all your hard work stuffed. if you're using a spray tin acrylic clear it has a retarder to make it dry slower so better to use spray gun with thin coats or just use a 2k product

    just so you know i am a spray painter for real or should i say used to be before i chucked a motorcycle down the road and ended up in a chair hope that helps you :-)

    Hey thanks for the input Phrozin, i used a 1k product and had no problem other than a gust of wind blowing into my shed on last coats of clear.. ggrrr. Back to sanding. If you dont mind me asking how long ago did you have your accident?
