I should probably put this in the "Lack of Finishing Touch" column, but had a strange one happen yesterday and not sure what, if anything, I should do.
I had stained a nicely figured piece of oak (heavy dark rings in the grain - dramatic) to use for a threshold 2 days ago - Friday I believe it was. Sunday afternoon I put on the first coat of poly - using oil based Defthane - when I looked at it last night, it had started bleeding and bubbling up through the grain of those heavy rings - looked like stain coming up, although after 2 days it should have been plenty dry.
I haven't had this happen before - do I just wait, let it bleed, re-sand and start with the poly again? - toss it and start with a new but less heavily figured board - or is there something else I should do?
