I tend to take it from the pot with a damp flat brush, get some consistency by running it over a wet palette, then apply it directly to the model. I go over it quickly in two directions; I varnish everything horizontally, then again vertically. This has worked in the past, but this time, I see brush strokes.

Am I just panicking? It's been only an hour since application.

Anyhow, what are my next steps? I have some scenarios. A part of this is also wondering if I need a second layer of Ardcoat before applying the semi-gloss/satin varnish as my final layer.

A) Ignore the brushstrokes. Wait 24 hours for it to cure, apply transfers, try to smooth it out with a semi-gloss layer on top
B) Ignore the brushstrokes. Wait 24 hours for it to cure, apply transfers, try to smooth it out with another layer of Ardcoat, paint a thin semi-gloss layer on top to matte it down
C) Wait another 2 hours for it to cure, try to smooth it out with another player of Ardcoat, wait 24 hours for it to cure, apply transfers, paint a semi-gloss layer on top
D) Wait another 2 hours for it to cure, try to smooth it out with another player of Ardcoat, wait 24 hours for it to cure, apply transfers, paint a layer of Ardcoat, paint a thin semi-gloss layer on top to matte it down
