The BLO and pumice turned out very gritty. Trying to sand it smooth quickly killed the sandpaper, Also, when I put a little test clear lacquer over it, the pumice was still visible as white crystals like salt. Perhaps if I had used only the finest grade pumice it would have gone better ?

So I just stripped it off with some Zinsser green gell stuff and used Constantine's walnut paste filler.

The temperature went from 85F to 45F in only 24 hours so I'll just have to wait a bit longer before proceeding.
