What happens here

After the stain has completely dried and cured according to its instructions (typically 24-48 hours), prepare the polyurethane. Pour Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish, in a matte sheen, directly into the cup of an HVLP sprayer. Ensure the polycrylic is well-stirred but not shaken to avoid introducing air bubbles. If the polycrylic appears too thick for spraying, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for thinning recommendations. Test the sprayer on a scrap piece of wood to adjust the fan pattern and flow rate for even coverage.

Goal: Pour the water-based matte polyurethane into the HVLP sprayer cup and prepare the sprayer for application.

no harsh blotchiness and I think it applies very well I did one coat and then I dried everything off with a clean rag and then I was getting it ready for the clear coat for clear coats I almost always exclusively use the same stuff it's from Minwax of polycrylic it's water-based it's super easy to work with it just pours into my HVLP sprayer this one's from home right as well it applies very well and then it just a couple of coats on it really I think overall on this project I lay down about four to five coats then I think about
