Did you ask your question in the rec.woodworking newsgroup? That's where you
will get recent and experienced advice.

Another tip: Use Google

"Polyesters are great for achieving a full-filled look. They are applied at
extremely high solids (around 80 percent by weight solids), and can be
applied at what would be excessive thickness with other types of finish, and
are very durable. However, they can be more complicated to use since they
are multicomponent systems, usually three parts that must be mixed together
accurately and have a very short pot-life (30 to 60 minutes is common).
Special plural component spray equipment is recommended to automatically mix
the finish directly before being applied. The short pot-life and cost has
limited its growth throughout the finish industry to areas where the
full-fill finish look is important."
