Thanks for the tip barge probably saved me a lot of headache. I dribbled as little water as i could and wiped up when i was done working on an area. Can't say I prevented 100% of water being wiped away. possibly a couple of drop may have gotten past.

Can i ask how long it took before you started noticing it expand?
and with the use of lacquer or paint, would wood sealer achieve the same affect?
