Grrr...

For some reason which I cannot explain, the second coat of clear I applied to the bottom trim today started "alligatoring" badly.

I tried some Blender Flow-Out but it didn't help.

After letting the trim dry a while and attempting to sand it out, I burned through the toner on the edges of one trim piece.



So that's it. I will re-strip all but two of the trim pieces (two out of six are OK) and re-respray them.

On the other hand...

The tops are coming along well and my next move on those are to lightly wet sand with 1000 grit - tomorrow after work - and then give them their final coats. Keeping fingers crossed that they remain OK...
