sanding tiger wraps

Guys,

How important is it that the last coat of finish over the bottom layer of a Tiger Wrap be completely smooth? I have a few small areas on a long wrap that are not quite perfect.

If it does need to be absolutely smooth, will it diminish the effect to sand the finish and apply another coat prior to wrapping the top layer? Thanks.

Keith

It doesn't have to be perfect. If you add another coat, it will only magnify the effect. The thicker the finish between the layers to more apparent the patterns will be.
