Barry,

Thanks for your reply.

OK - no rubbing in or buffing after application.

No sweat fell on the work piece - although were it anytime other than the few weeks of
cool, low humidity weather we get here that may have been a possibility.

After the application, wiping down, and replacing the lid on the can - apparently some of
the coating dripped onto the work piece - this is where the whitish areas are, in addition
to a small area where the grain is very open.

After sitting for several hours, I buffed the entire surface and the white has noticeably
diminished.

Temps are good and the humidity is down right now - so will apply the second coat - with
no rubbing!

Regards and best wishes for a prosperous New Year!

Doug

Applied the SealCoat with a dry cloth and the humidity was uncommonly dry - at least for
Houston.

When applying - should I leave the material on the surface or try to rub in / buff out?

Wipe on & STOP! G

If you keep rubbing, you'll just make a sticky mess.

There isn't much else the white can be other than moisture or debris.
Did you sweat on it? No, I'm not kidding... Drops of sweat blush
lacquer and shellac.
