An old painter told me my clear was too thick and it stuck with me
He said it looked like I was trying to 'paint with honey' and that I'd never get a good flow. I started mixing it a bit thinner, about 10% more reducer, and my orange peel dropped by half. Anyone else get a piece of advice that fixed a basic technique for you?

Oh man, my first clear coat job looked like I was trying to frost a cake with a spackle knife.

Wait, you used a spackle knife for clear coat? That's wild, @terrymitchell. Clear coat needs a sprayer or at least a super soft brush to lay down smooth. A spackle knife would leave crazy ridges and ruin the finish.
