Okay, finishing is not my strong suit, so I'm hoping others have suggestions. I recently finished a wall hanging key/mask/leash rack for friends and I'm having some issues with the finish.
The piece was finished with 3 coats of tung oil/varnish mix about a week ago. Yesterday I put on a coat of liquid satin finishing wax and buffed it clean. This afternoon when I came down to the shop, my finish had developed some white, milky discolorations. Buffing with a rag didn't seem to make any difference, nor did a second coat of wax. Pictures of the spots are attached.
Any suggestions on what caused the spots and how to remove them? I can always sand the whole thing down, but would like to avoid that if possible.
Thanks as always for taking a look.
