Fish eyes in poly varnish
I am applying a new coat(s) of MinWax wipe on satin poly. I roughed up
the old original coat and am sanding between coats. There are fish eyes in the finish from years and years of waxing, cleaning, etc.. Is there anything I can do to cover these blemishes short of stripping the table down to the wood. My brother in law told me that doing this might not solve the problem, there could be wax or silicone in the wood and the fish eyes will still be there. |

I would try sanding to bare wood, putting down a coat of shellac and then your varnish of choice excluding the MinWax brand. |
