A tip to this is to not go and go untill you run out of material, that is how you can get urethane peel..

Do your initial clear for depth, then BLOCK it down with 600 grit, that will flatten the urethane peel.

With your flow coat you only need a few coats, you don't want excessive build as you will get urethane peel all over again.

A lot of guys will do their initial clearing, block the next day then only one coat for a flow coat, I would go 2 if it we're me, but just stating you don't need anymore than that for a flow coat.

Depends on the clear you are using and it's purpose.

I have used this UFC35 Flo-Clear on a bike and done 15 coats total 3 separate times- with no peel and no solvent popping. The reason for the build up is to flatten out the graphics.

I will be using a non-flo clear for the initial coats to get a higher build, sand w/600 then the graphics, then Flo clear about 5 coats (very thin), then sand w/1000, then 2-3 coats more Flo clear then color sand and buff.
