I agree completely with your comments, Mike. I've pressed the
distributor on more than one occasion about skipping sanding. So far,
they won't budge. Personally, I think that one could get by without
sanding if they re-coat at the proper time interval. However, since I'm
counting on them being more familiar with their product's requirements
than I am, I wouldn't take it upon myself to suggest to others that they
deviate from the proscribed schedule.

Another course of action might be for the OP to devote additional time
to testing various methods of application to see what seems to work
well. The only fly in the ointment being that finish failures may not
manifest themselves upon immediate observation.

I am not sure but I think the reason for the scruff sanding is based on
the recommendation that WB Poly needs to completely dry before the next
coat or you will get moisture trapped under the upper coats with cloudy
results. If the base hardens then the scruff sand will be necessary to
get the best bond.
