The second time (later the same day) I stretched the fabric out first and just brushed it on, which seemed to work far better for me. I have a theory that the sponge brush, after a few hours between coatings, hardened up and allowed me to press harder on the fabric, thus pushing more through to the other side, so that my inside coat was connected to the outside coat, if that makes any sense... I should also note that the second method even weighed slightly less than when I dipped it for some reason, even though the fabric was the same size (about 3x2) It may have also been from the stiffer brush acting more like a squeegee than an actual brush. I hope to do a full size one day, when I have a place to do it right. I would not dare do it in my garage again. I made a huge mess and was in the doghouse with my wife for a few days....
sidenote: I told this story to my cousin from the Middle East when he was visiting, and even though he knows English very well, he still thought for a few minutes that I actually slept in the doghouse with my wife. He had the strangest look on his face.
