Well I have certainly learned a lot from you guys, wet sanding is the bomb. Worth 3 coats of oil at least. I was worried at the milky look and unevenness but leave it alone and next day wow. Now doing the diluted thing and its having some serious results. I am at about 10 to 12 coats stage and not sure I am going to achieve a whole lot more from additional coats and I am definitely not looking for a glass finish. Having a few drying challenges in Darwin's humidity but today am going to try and get some direct sunlight on the work. fingers crossed. Its 9.00 o'clock and 29C and 72% relative humidity. not ideal but lovely and sunny.
