Uni mould, applying without brush strokes??

My problem is I know if I paint brush this on to the flat surface and then look to flat it off afterwards, most of my time will be spent just rubbing out the brush stroke marks, I believe the Uni Mould is to thick to spray on so how can you apply this giving the flattest finish?? I am thinking of using a paint brush to apply it and then using a roller to get a better flat finish prior to rubbing it down. Has anyone done this before and can pass on their advice please? Cheers, Lee.

I know I will still have to do some rubbing down, but as you've stated its tough stuff and takes some rubbing. I do have a DA sander which helps, but its the application using a brush that makes it so much work, there must be a better way of applying this so the surface is flatter??
