Thanks Z
I was writing my reply when you sent yours and I didn't see it.
By the sound of it you are not expecting to have to fill your cap after the last coat. Do you intend to wax?

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.
