Spraying 1,400' of V groove pine with urethane for a contractor buddy of mine.

That's a lot of truck beds...  ;D
I just realized, I've become one of those Ol' Geezers I didn't need to listen to when I was young.

First, and second coat one right after another. Stand it up long enough to spray them all, then start over again. Let them sit for about 4 hours, gave them a light scuff with 320 paper, wiped them with a rag, then a tack cloth, and spray a third heavier coat on.
