So, u could use the cross linker EM100 for final coat(s). But what good woud it do u? You will level sand through them. And, if u need to add finish, u just cut that avenue off. EM6000 cures hard over time. I do think it would be awesome if someone would invent a crosslinker that could be wiped on after leveling. Make a guy rich. No?

Right again Mike.....crosslinker defeats the successive burning in factor (which for me seems to be a major plus with WB EM 6000). EM 6000 ..I have a lot of equity there, working through trials of learning that finish, And found that to be ...by and large, a good experience. Maybe I'll just learn to live with the softer end result for now. It's not terribly soft really..

You know, EM6000 seems to have a fairly long period where it can be reapplied without fear of witness lines. In all my uses, I've never seen them. My biggest concern was blue tint. It's real issue. And more evident on darker woods. It seems to me that one could put on a serious base coat. Cure. Level sand. Not buff. Then apply 3-4 coats with hardener. Then relevel and end up with a harder surface. I base this on a blog I read. I'll try it.

That actually sounds like a good idea. I'd be interested to hear the results of that!
