    Sure is sensitive stuff and need to be extremely patient between laying down coats. Whilst it may feel dry you might find a slight tackiness to the touch and this means a green finish requiring more curing time as it will still be soft and moist just under the surface. Therefore do not recommend any form of sanding for at least a week or two.

    Yep, you are right wazkelly. There is a slight tackiness to the finish. So I will wait at least a week from now before I attempt to sand it back. Got a dehumidifier running in the workshop too. Hopefully that will help. Unfortunately there is rain predicted all week here in Sydney, so drying is going to be slloooooooooooww.

    Still plenty of humidity up here too with rain forecast for most part of the next week. Sounds like the whole East coast might be affected?
