smooth finish with fake snake skins

[JGL]

I'm working on finishing my trade today and am having a hard time getting a good looking finish on the fake skins. really i have deft lacquer spray some minwax spar urethane and teak oil what would yall think would give me the best finish i have a couple coats of deft on it now and it looks fuzzy.          I don't know what i should do i can get some different stuff at lowes          so close to being finished this little thing is driving me crazy

you probably need to sand with 300 or finer and do several more coats of deft. Deft is a laquer and the spar won't jive with it at all. Don't ask me how I know LOL

Deft is great finish you just need to sand between coats and use several on the backing that you used.

I tried poly and spar over deft and it wouldn't dry

I thought the fake skins went over the finish.
