Seriously, their model makes so much sense. We keep kids in desks for years then wonder why no one wants to get their hands dirty. That early practical time builds real skill, not just test answers.

ParkerColeman, my nail gun jammed three times yesterday in this humidity, how does yours work?

Oh man, I feel that sticky struggle so hard. What finally worked for me was thinning my wipe-on poly a bit more than the can says (like with mineral spirits, just a splash) and then working on much smaller areas at a time. I also switched to using those cheap foam brushes instead of a rag, which let me put on a thinner coat that set up slower. It's a pain to do tiny sections, but you avoid that tacky race against the clock.
