For the gloss with Wudtone I followed some instruction I found in the Pit Bull forums how to build guitar guide. Basically this involved applying your Wudtone top coats, wait a week to cure then apply up to 3 very thin coats leaving a couple of days between each layer. Once you have applied the 3 thin coats wait another week to cure then buff with some photocopy paper. I have tried this technique with good results.
