    Default Finishing

    Hi I am renovating a mahogany dining table and using a (new can) one pot urethane clear gloss finish.
    I have applied numerous coats both thick and thinned to different dilutions and used a 4mm nap micro fibre roller as recommended
    and I get an orange peel finish. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to cut it back with wet and dry etc to get a smooth finish.
    Cheers archerdlb

    It sounds like the original finish might be still present on the table.
    Did you remove all the original finish?

    Hi Bob Yes. I scraped the original finish off and then sanded it also used white spirit to clean.
