Quoted from CraigC:exactly. and you want dimples as that is a success story of the clear flexing with the wood. when clear is too hard and inflexible that's_ when adhesion problems happen. also you'll notice the harder the clearcoat the faster it dulls.

I thought I would find you here... Craig is correct. I have had major issues with clear separating because it is too hard. You need it to flex with the wood or it will just crack.
