I was reading the label on a newly purchased can of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal to see how they say to apply it.
Near the bottom of the label:"A common problem is to put too much pressure on the applicator when wiping the excess. The pressure can cause a friction steak which shows up after drying. These streaks may easily be removed by buffing or sanding well and recoating.
I hope these steaks are caused by a bum steer in the finishing technique.
This will be the first time I've used the arm-r-seal products. It's going on a short little table I'm refinishing that looks like some sort of South American rosewood. I put on a few coats of danish oil over a month ago. The other folks in my house have no respect for furniture. I've read good things about the arm-r-seal, I hope it can withstand the torture it's going to get.
