I just tried some spray poly on a small project. I like it because it's
convenient and quick (no brushes to clean up). The one small problem I had
is some slight orange peel (dimpling in the surface like cellulite).
What;s the best way to A) avoid this when using spray poly, and B) fix it
when it shows up?


A) Don't use poly spraycans. I prefer acrylic for that gaudy, glossy,
highly-plastic look. It comes in matte, too! Shake the SPIT out of
the can before use.

B) Clean the work first. Naphtha, denatured alcohol, lacquer thinner.
And let it DRY before putting finish on. Compressed air can help but
raises dust, so wipe (tack off) before you finish anyway.
