Ok I am making a pen out of a red wood maybe paduck, not sure but didn't seem quite as hard. Anyhow in finishing I am getting big foggy/dull spots. I have stripped it 3-4 times used dna, accelerator to clean it and got most of the red color out, a sanding/grain sealer, no matter what I do I get dull spots in my finish. It looks ok when on the lath but the shine is not great and you can start to see the dull spots but what is worse is when I try to use a plastic polish on it, it only makes the dull spots worse and the other areas more shiny it is like the CA is not dry. Is that possible?
Totally frustrated here all I want to do is make a pen for my wife and I have been trying to finish it for the past 5 hours.
I searched and I found refrences to ghosting is this what is happing? It is like the finish will not shine up. I have tried 2 totally different med ca bottles so I am pretty sure it is not the CA. Same BLO thought.
