poly and coating technique
i used to always wipe the dust off from sanding between poly coats
but for some stuff that did not need to be presentable and i coated just as a measure to keep out ambient moisture i left the dust on between coats i found that the dust seems to go back into solution once i applied the next coat and as far as i can tell there was no downside at all now i do not clen the dust off and i get better coverage and use less poly do the higher end finishes require strict cleaning of the sanding dust or do they take the dust back into solution |

Spot on as usual. may be true but the dust from sanding the previous coat is not visible when sprayed over with the next coat As a professional that finishes as part of my living, all I have to say about that is "not to you".
