if it's "instantly" going through the clear coat, you didnt put near enough. i put 1 light coat of clear, and then 2 medium coats. if you are sanding, and the water turns black, thats a sign it has gone through the clear. if the water from sanding stays chalky lookin, its ok.

yup, I stripped the clear and started over, I put 2 light coats, and 3 heavier ones, it still is matte coloring in appearance, but I have yet to attempt the wet sanding again...going to shortly with a friend that has done it plenty of times.

I was thinking something like that. Better be careful Jeff, you might get a TUI (Typing while Under the Influance)!!
