I am finishing new wood handrails. ... I first stained with natural color stain. Let dry for three days. Then varnished with natural color varnish. (Both products new cans of Min-Wax from Home Depot.)
Waited three days and went back to put on a second coat of varnish. I had multiple small white spots scattered across the handrails. ... Depressing! ... Fine sanded the rails and hard sanded the white spots
Am ready to try again. How do I keep from getting these white spots again? ...
Also, a friend suggested I wipe down the rails with Mineral Spirits to remove any sanding dust from my fine sanding. Is this a recommended procedure and if so, how long should I wait to re-varnish after the wipe-down with the Mineral Spirits? ... Thanks for any help here. .
