Top coat not self leveling

So, I'm trying a top coat for the first time. It's supposed to be self leveling. Im using farm wood glaze coat. I followed the directions the best I could. I noticed that the wood seems to be soaking it up in some spots as well. Any suggestions? I'm not sure if i used enough but I didn't want to use too much.

Should I let it cure and try putting a second coat on?
