The TV stand I've been working on went to shit when I was putting on the poly top coat to protect the painted finish. And that painted finish was done with just a paint brush and roller if you can believe that. It was absolutely perfect. Then applying the poly (making sure to thin it out to an almost water viscosity to make sure it took longer to dry and level itself better) still ended up with brush marks that wouldn't come out. I sanded the pieces down 3 times and tried. Each attempt getting progressively worse. So now I'm looking to start all over...
