Im staining the stock on my PSL. I have took it all apart and sanded off the old stain and clear coat. It is nice and smooth. I started to stain the first coat. After 16 hours of drying its very ruff to the touch. The can said not the sand it between coats so i applied the second coat to darken it more. I know its still going to be ruff. My question is should i sand it lightly with some fine sandpaper before applying the clear coat? Or abide by the can and not sand it and hope the gloss smooths it out. I have not done something like this before. So any advice will help. Ill post my picture of this adventure soon as im done.
