Have recently finished a jarrah slab table in organoil garden furniture oil. About 4 coats. The table is indoors and finish has become blochy and dull.
I recently wiped it with a damp cloth. Could this be the reason?
I would have thought a garden furniture oil would be able to get wet.
Any ideas about getting back a nice sheen eg. buffing or even waxing?

Were there any chemicals on the cloth?
Was the finish fully cured?

Brumby,
I'm with you, I tried Organoil on a beautiful grained piece of Jarrah, and even after about 4 trys I never got it looking good!
It looked OK for a few days, then it would go dull, dark and have an uneven gloss. :mad:
In the end I scraped the whole thing back, and put Rustins Danish Oil on it, now it looks great. :)
I've heard Organoil has a hard time forming a surface coating (or something like that). :confused:

The cloth was clean (a recently washed pair of jocks in fact). What do you mean by cured.

By cured, I mean had it had sufficient time to properly "set" on the table - drying timeds would be given on the can.
