Hi Andy, looking good and maybe you could get away with one intensifier coat but make sure it has been at least 7 days left to cure. Whilst it has been mostly dry in this part of Oz lately the next few days could be wet and strangely the indoor humidity readings are still quite low at my place on Sunny Coast, only 62% as I am writing this. What usually happens is when the Sun comes out again the humidity rises as moisture is burnt off, maybe not the most scientific explanation and merely just my observation. It is this part of the weather cycle that seems to prolong the curing process leaving the DT green for much longer and easily turns to muck if sanded or steel wooled too soon. Trust me, I have experienced this several times.
Woks has built more kits than anyone and from his comments get the impression it is easier to use TO for the top coats although it also has a habit of attracting minute dust or fibre particles too, as did DT on many occasions.
Lost count of how many stain & intensifier coats were applied due to sanding back 3 or 4 times, most recent after 4th TO coat using 1200 grit wet. Stripped a lot off but that was good as it also levelled out the layers already put down.
Doing the finish indoors with airconditioning may help with the build but I don't think my minister for war & peace would provide consent.
