    Intensifying coats

    I’ve started putting on the intensifying coats of dingo tone and it is looking great!

    It’s been developing little droplets of the stain all over it and I can wipe it away, is this the excess stain being rejected? Must I wipe it away or just leave it?

    I can't help you with the droplets question, but that's looking great.
    Should be quite stunning when it's done. Nice work.

    Just had a thought though... maybe something to do with timber being burnt??? Activated some natural resin within the timber???

    Thanks mccreed. It may be that or, along that train of thought, the fact it was in the sun most of the day, warming it up quite a bit.

    You'll have a mix of components, so one probably liquefied before the others in the heat. Never a great idea to dry finishes in direct sunlight and letting them get very hot (unless you've got a UV curing finish).

    Thanks Simon, I’ll keep that in mind.
