Thanks this really helped because I actually bought the triple thick one . But regardless of which sealer I was using , I would not use a bristle brush and instead to use a sponge brush to avoid brush strokes even though the sponge might soak up a but of product I thinks the outcome will come out more smoothly.

The foam does work better than a brush with the Triple Thick. It also helps to go slow. If you run your applicator across the surface too fast you'll get more air bubbles which causes the texture he talks about in the video.

I'm using a foam brush and still getting strokes. There's no way to drag the brush all the way across the 60" desk in one fell swoop, regardless of how little or how much poly I put on the brush, no matter how slow or fast I go. I still end up having to sand between coats and reapplying poly, striving for a smooth finish. I'm up to coat #3, so for me, I will not buy this product again.

I used this for the first time yesterday. It is certainly hard to apply. The first piece I did came out rough, very rough with brush strokes, etc, just like you described. On the second piece, I decided to be more generous with the quantity I'm applying, it came out smooth. This is not scientific, but an observation for me to keep in mine. I am now considering a second coat on the piece that came out rough. One difference between what I am doing vs what you are doing, I am applying this on a cured water based paint which was applied on a cured water based primer on yellow pine wood. I dunno if that's a factor or not, but I thought it is worth mentioning because, this product is water based, if applied of base wood, it could case some grains to rise, which explains the lack of smoothness in your case.

I used the triple poly on a rustic/modern coffee table I made. This was after watching videos and hearing great things about this poly. I spared no expense on the brush and followed the directions to a "T". I am very unimpressed with the results. Of course I applied this after the table was sanded and wiped free of dust and stained. I applied a thick coat and did not over work the product, and made one long pass as directed. The finished product produced a very rough feel, but not like a wood rough feel, more like a plastic rough feel. Secondly I noticed that if I take a photograph of it in certain light or even with my cell phone's flash it shows some hazing. Thirdly I noticed that when I moved something heavy across the table that it seemed to leave a hazy scratch line. Mind you I let the product cure completely also. I'm trying to see if it's possible to sand this down with fine sandpaper to smooth it out and apply another coat or wet sand it. I'm kind of stuck with what I want to do with it now. The build came out very nice I'm just very bummed with the finish of this poly.

Technically you have 6 coats if this stuff is actually triple thick. A roller might thin it out more but then that depends how loaded the roller was.

How about using polyurethane for floors? It's more durable than regular poly. Be sure to let if fully cure. At least a week.

I have found that the Triple Thick is better applied with a foam brush or foam roller. The slower you lay it down, the fewer air bubbles, the less texture you will feel. Air bubbles can also be removed by running a heat tool or hot dryer on low speed over the surface, be sure to constantly move the heat around and don't leave in one spot. It's the same as removing air bubbles in resin. You also have to apply thinner layers of the Triple Thick because the texture partially comes from the top drying before the underneath layer so when as the underneath dries it moves the top which is kinda like crackling.

Thank you for your insight.

I use the triple poly when I'm working on rustic style pieces that I want to feel rough. Sliding door or headboard. I just slather it on without sanding. You cannot get this stuff to get smooth like the regular poly. This is not the product for smooth finishing.
