Parafix 3460?

I use Parfix 3408, used Mark Silay’s videos for instruction. I like it a lot. Its not for doing film build finishes. While the open time is long for ca glue, there’s a limit to how big of a piece you can do. ~ 6”x6” for me. I have not tried to do a bigger piece in sections, I suspect it would be noticeable.
 
Just talked to Mark the other day. I was having problems with spots in me 3408 finish. He said I was applying the next coats too soon. He said the accelorator probably had not evaporated and the new finish was setting off as soon as I applied it. He said to wait 30 seconds to a minute. It worked
 
About 4" I prefer minwax wipe on poly for larger work. I'm still too new with the prefix and also not sure how it holds up in 10 or 20 years so not willing to risk it on a serious project.
