[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2970820, member: 115658"] Not straight polyurethane - I used Min Wax Poly Rub - this stuff will fill big pore claro walnut other similar woods. The deal is to apply a real generous coat, really slather it on, and wait up to 10-12 hours at normal room temps & humidity for it to dry the point where sanding produces white dust. Sand it down well then more Poly Rub but drying time will be greatly reduced after first coat, like 4-5 hours. After 3-5 cycles pores should be filled. Maple fills much faster. Poly Rub contains some sort of drier(s) that speed up drying times but very first coat takes up to 1/2 day. Be real careful with acetone - I have some real bad stories on that stuff but not in the context of stock finishing. If I have any acetone it does not share living spaces - keep it in back yard shed - probably irrational fear. My guess on your situation the finish has not dried or cured entirely. Sand it well with 320 after keeping stock in warm room for 3-4 days. [/QUOTE]
