Hi
First time varnishing an Australian bloodwood timber slab that is my coffee table: All coats till the last few ones were fine
Read on and Please HELP!
Waited ted for 48 hours to do my 6th and my final final coat.How wrong I was about it being my last. I ran into trouble and the varnish carried streaks of hardened varnish, I dont know how that happened but it did and after I finished I noticed it, I was gutted. It could be that I did not stir the tin enough to mix the varnish or I re-used the expensive brush that I thought I had cleaned really well (I think the latter)
Day 8: 7th coat Didn't sleep well the previous night, waited for 16 hours before I had to re sand the areas with 120 grit and 220 and 320 grit trying to get those narrow hairlike thickened varnish streaks off, tough job, thankfully they got off on most areas except 2-3 spots where it was the worst. I did my best there and sanded the rest of the top as usual with 320, tack clothed the whole surface waited till dust settled and applied my seventh coat this time with my 3rd tin of varnish as you can see below the affected spots
Please help with tips as what needs to be done, it is now 36 hours since my last coat
