I have had that happen to me when I use "Thick" CA. It hasn't happened with thin or medium ca.
Hope this helps.

I use a small sanding block when sanding the finish (hard rubber). sanding without a block will remove all imperfections but will not level the finish. Thick CA can be thicker in some spots and thinner in others. The block will level this out.

I agree...it is low spots...use a sandig block or use thin and smooth it better before removing the paper towel. I used to see it on my finish but I gor better at application and it disappeared.

Wavey lines come from moving too slow during your application. BLO will help smooth out each pass. I started off with wavey lines, but when I started using a faster application and BLO between each application, I have virtually smooth finishes.
 
use thin ca. i had that problem before. put a little drop of blo and then thin ca,as you know it dries very fast,put some on the paper towel,spread it and take another drop of blo and rub it in fast side to side.the blo will melt the ca and even it out.theres a youtube video here somewhere and since i started doing it that way my finishes are great.
i no longer use the medium ca,you'll have to do this step about 8-10 times.
good luck.
 
Hi, i use thin c/a. When i want a clearer finish, i don`t use blo to smooth things out. I use mineral oil and sand up to 600 with auto paper. I never sand or mm wood with water. Carl
