Apply Second Coat and Intermediate Sanding

What happens here

Allow the first coat to dry completely, which the presenter notes happens quite quickly, possibly less than the typical hour. Once dry, lightly sand the entire surface of the shelf again using the 150-grit Ecodiamond sanding sponge. This creates a smooth base for the second coat. Then, apply a second coat of the stain and poly, ensuring even coverage and laying it out as before to achieve a smooth finish.

Goal: Deepen the color and enhance protection with a second, smooth coat
