Thanks for taking the time to do such a thorough write up and sharing it. There's enough how to information there that I could actually consider trying it. Completing the finishing process in just one day is a huge attraction.

I haven't been able to find cost information about the UV system you are using. What's a ballpark price for it?

What sealer and pore filler products are you using in this method?

Assuming you have a decent spray set up already adding UV curing will cost about $2000 as a minimum buy in for equipment and materials.
