well, so far tonight i've finished all of the sanding and did the first round of fine-cut over everything. I rolled it out and washed it off, then got the wife and kids to help me look it over for spots that need more work. turned out to be pretty much every large area
so, i'm starting round two over the whole thing. i've taken tomorrow afternoon off and will go over it with the machine glaze then. I'm really happy with how it's turning out. it's still not perfect, but it's close enough for me.
