    Hi Alkay, a bit hard to see as you say, with the cool temperatures you have had maybe 2 weeks it hasn't fully cured. Another thing maybe the body has been too close to the fireplace and caused small amounts of bubbling, depends how hot it got and how close it was to the fireplace.
    I think to fix you should wet sand the affected areas till the white streak has gone and then apply 2-3 more TO coats. It is a lengthy process in winter. Does the TO feel pretty hard and is there any smell ? If there is any softness or smell you should wait a bit longer to do more wet sanding.
    Hang in there buddy !

    Yeah ok cool.

    It wasn't too close to the fire place. Mostly on the side of it so no direct heat most of the time. Yes I do have a bubble on the surface too.

    Ok sounds like a good logical step. I'll sand that out "carefully" and do some more TO for 2-3 coats....then let it dry for another two weeks?
