I used a squegee on the first two coats the first was fine I took some back off. The second I think I flowed on too thick and left it. How do I handle it now? Sand It? (what grit) there are some dry spots still where the weave is still exposed. Do I run the risk of sanding into the weave or what? Thanks again TB
