I have always brushed on 3 coats of LFM, each in a different direction to get maximum coverage with no thin spots (hopefully). I use the #11 Xacto blades with the gold tint on the cutting surface as they seem to last the longest. I always use a fresh blade when starting a new body and have always had good luck, but thats just what has worked for me. I also try to lay the blade down at the most angle possible instead of straight up n down which helps with the cutting and also with maintaining a straight line, again its what works for me.
Hopefully others with more experience will chime in also
