[Woodcarver] help needed

[John G]

Hi Diane
I had similar problems with my Gnome home. You can see it on my 
picture trail. I applied a thin coat of brush poly indoors when there 
was very low humidity. Sorry but there is no quick fix.


God Bless,
John G.

I just did some recarving on a bark piece and had to refinish the new 
parts. 
I used a coat of polyurethane on just the newly carved areas and it 
was fine 
except it needed another coat to match it up with the rest. Instead 
of using 
the polyurethane again, I decided to give the whole piece a good 
spraying of 
satin lacquer. I sprayed it outside - it is very humid here today and 
the 
cement walk where I laid out my work was damp. The finish, when dry, 
had a 
white chalky coating on parts of the whole piece - not just the new 
part. I 
thought maybe it had picked up moisture from the sidewalk so just 
brought it 
in to dry out: no change after 3 or 4 hours. Next I brushed the white 
spots 
with a wire brush and most of the white stuff came off leaving those 
parts 
with out any finish. Now I need to put something on it to cover the 
rest of 
the white and finish the whole piece.

Any suggestions on how to fix this mess I've caused?

Diane
