I am attempting to repair slightly damaged Tasmanian Cherry Wood cupboard doors. The damage penetrates the finish through to the timber. Accordingly I sanded the doors smooth and in those places the damage reached the wood I sanded through the finish coat and what apperars to be sanding sealer into the wood. When covering all with Satin Spray Estapol white lines apperared around those areas where I had sanded through to the wood. Thinking it might have been a temperature/humidity problem, I resanded and ensured that the termperature was 20 degrees C. Same result.
I then removed all the finish including the sanding sealer and got back to the bare wood (not an easy task!) .
The problem that I now have is that certain areas of the timber cause the paint to coalesc into small bubbles and dry to a rough finish. It appears to be grain related in most cases. IE the boundaries follow grain lines.
Any ideas on fixing the first problem or the second. The professionals say that they have never heard of either problem before. I though Estapol was reasonably forgiving!
