I tried the squeegee in the closets. It was too long. I went with a short nap microfiber roller in the closets and that did an "ok" (for closets) job.

I used the squeegee in the rooms, and that seems to put a much nicer coat of poly down.

I think, in some spots, I didn't pour enough poly on the floor to spread not wanting to end up with a big mess. So when I pull to the end and it goes on smoothly, but I end up with a little extra at one wall or the other, I then need to pull down again, but a lot of what I just went over is already 95% dry, so the squeegee starts to chatter. So I figure pour a little more down just to lube the path of the squeegee.

Looking into the first room that I finish from the door towards the windows so I got a good view of the floor, it looked like there were some spots where it was thinner than others. I'm assuming/hoping that a subsequent coat will even out the appearance.

So far, trying to watch what I'd put down and what I was in the process of putting down, it seemed that it's going to look good. Finger crossed!
