When you put furniture back and area rugs and start living in the space again you won't notice any imperfections your worried about now. It'll look great and your wife will be happy and you won't ever have to do it again!

Yes, I see that pouring extra seems better than pouring too little.

Thank you for confirming that the second coat will even out thin spots. I was hoping/assuming that would be the case.

I do think that we're going to be happy with the results. So far everything looks great.
