How long do you wait after your final coat of TimberLuxe before you checker?

I like checkering first, then covering the checkering with blue painter's tape while finishing the wood. After the finishing is complete I remove the tape and brush a light coat of finish into the checkering with an old toothbrush, being careful not to get too much in it.

I'm just a novice, but I like the way that works.

I never understood checkering first. But... to each his own.

It is one thing to add a final top coat or something, but a complete finish job on raw wood with checkering in place...? No thank you.

I checker when I am one top coat from being done. Then the last coat is also when I seal the checkering.
