My second stock refinish job with Truoil has been a bit difficult.
The first stock I did came out wonderful. Using the same bottle of Truoil, I started out wet sanding to build a slurry and fill in the pores. On the third wet sanding and wipe down I noticed the finish was getting real sticky with the slurry. In between attempts I let the stock dry the required 24 hours, buff with steel wool.
Right now I am having to sand back all of the slurry build up and it's just clogging the 220 grit paper so quick I suspect it just isn't drying in 24 hours due to cooler temps in my shop ~60°F.
I don't want to strip with Citri Strip and lose the grain fill.
Should I just take more time for drying and sand back the finish so that I can start over with Truoil once I sand this sticky slurry off?
