Hi all,
I have just completed a entertainment unit which I finished with 3 coats of Feast Watsons china oil. After the final coat I gave it a light sand with wet'n'dry paper and it was very smooth. A fortnight later however the surface of the timber has come up slightly rough.
I tried giving a small section a light sanding with wet'n'dry to see if that would help, but a week later the surface was slightly rough again. Another section I applied Organoil wax to, but it too was rough a week later. The wood is American Cherry veneer.
If anyone has any advice on how to get a nice smooth finish it would be greatly appreciated. Is the answer to apply a couple of coat of laquer over the top?
Thanks,
Justin.
