Report JoeyG · Registered Joined Mar 19, 2011 · 467 Posts Oct 1, 2014 I spray it on with a gravity fed sprayer at about 50lbs of pressure.
Report gfadvm · In Loving Memory Joined Jan 13, 2011 · 10,077 Posts Oct 1, 2014 AhHA, I haven't tried spraying with my sprayer! My set up does work great with Spar so I'll try the Polyacrylic. Thanks.

If you screw up the finish, you screw up the project." You, my friend, did a GREAT finish on this!
