All good mate.

As a base stain DT is good, just gotta watch how many coats and how it is thickening up and/or not curing properly. 3 or 4 coats would be max and same for the intensifiers too. I just couldn't get the top coat to behave which caused many wet sand backs and switched to TO to bring those 2 builds home (both Explorers). Even after a couple of years the finish feels quite soft and delicate compared to later builds and marks quite easily. In hindsight I always wondered if using the neck finish as final body top coats would have worked better as that stuff is supposed to set or go off harder and tougher.

I do like the DT there is a bit of a knack to using it. I used neck final coat on the top of this one. I don't know if that is why the top hasn't reacted but its possible.
