Bubbles in my Polycrylic HELP

I’m having a lot of trouble applying Polycrylic to my custom joystick. I keep getting these small bubbles popping up every where. I tried thinning out the Polycrylic with both water and lacquer thinner. No go there. I let the Polycrylic sit for a couple days. No go there. I used a variety of brushes including foam. Helped a little but still the bubbles haunt me.:mad: I tried spray can several times but the results where really bad. What do you guys do to get a bubble free finish on your joysticks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

spray/wetsand

tedious but probably the easiest way to get the best results.

Yell at them. Always works for me. Also works on bugs.

I can kind of picture that happening :rofl:

I tried that actually but when I tried to polish it…well it didn’t polish at all. I tried paste finishing wax and regular car wax both failed. I sanded with 600 grit. Could you possibly detail your process more. For that matter could anyone detail there process.
