Can I add an additional coat of the top coat at a later time? It didn't come out quite as even as I'd like. :(

Since the top coat (or final finish) is an epoxy-type solution that was supplied with your kit, it probably won't hold up long enough with the proper consistency to be applied at some later time. Check with Rust-Oleum though; but my feeling is that you'll probably need to purchase more of the compound to get the finish that you want.

Yes, you may sand the surface and apply topcoat once the original topcoat has had at least 24 hours to cure. Thank you for your question.

Im no expert here but i would think if you did a light sanding beforehand it would be alright.

I am not certain I would do that. It's an epoxy finish and I don't know if would stick to the first coat. May need to ask someone where you can purchase the product.

A second coat should help problem. I put on one coat in two batches. On the second batch I did not stir enough and ended up with a tacky surface in a few places. Talked to company and they said to do a second coat. Put on second coat and had a good chemical reaction. No tacky areas now. I have had the product on my bar top for three years and it looks as good as the day I put it on....i.e. GREAT!! Just be sure to stir the 2 components together completely when making a batch.

Hi India:) I'm like you,new to Seche.I got my fastdry topcoat about a month ago&to; be honest,it was quite a transition from my normal GlossyGlam(by @justricarda on IG).But truly not because it gets thick too fast.Now that I'm used to it I'd completely recommend to anybody!The ONE thing u shud be warned about is...Be SURE&let; your coats dry well before u apply because it WILL shrink your polish.I'd heard that but foundout the hard way:p And also,when it says fastdry that's exactly what it means.Overall itsa great formula!Hope all that was helpful!:) *Kelly

We were very pleased with two coats, it just didn't seem complete with just one coat

I got some clear acrlic spray and gave a couple of coats. I have had this for almost a year and gave one to my kids a year ago. We all love it. I will give it another couple of coats in a few months. I believe in making things last so I do what I can to help that along. Hope this helps.

It would seem to me that you could do this. I found that the clear coat does not go as far as the epoxy does in coverage. You may need additional clear coat.

Yes, I have done it many times. Just be careful not to remove too much of the original finish once it has melted with the Formby's. After you have evened it out, I suggest using the Formby's Tung Oil, really puts on a nice finish. Use multiple thin coats.

For best results, you should use a topcoat. I used two coats of Polyacrylic topcoat by General Finishes.

And, i would folliw the direction to the "t" by sanding the first coat then applying the second coat which will protect it indefinitely. For a nice finish apply twice after your first application! ! :)

Did you end up painting it? I was having the exact same thought, so I'm happy to see someone else had that idea. Would love to know how it turned out if you did it.

Hi Jenny, sure we usually include a base coat and a top coat in the combo. Best, Mighty Gadget

One initial coat was enough for me. However, it seems to smooth out a bit after about nine months, so I apply a light coat over the existing coat about that often. I am happy with it. I still have not used the first of the two bottles. Rinse the roller and keep it.

Yes you can but might look little thick. Only clear top can be used I tried with putting other color on top of existing one and did not work too good.

I used two topcoats and its been working fine. It's been about six months now and looks great.

You COULD. Not sure why you would. It will be roughly textured. You would have to scuff all exist irony paint . Clean with xylol then apply. Let dry and apply last coat.

Good morning Russelk777 Base on my own experience, adding the clear coat will not make it shine, as of fact, it will give it a matte look.

If the existing paint is glossy or semi-gloss, I would suggest priming or at least scuffing it with steel wool. I would not, however, recommend this paint.
