I am trying to finish up a bed and I am putting the poly on the side rails, bed was originally a toddler bed and now be converted to a full size. I am using Watco Wipe On Poly which I have used in the past and have never had an issue with it. I used this same stuff when it was a toddler bed and loved it.
When I tried to apply it to the side rails you can see "streaks" in it when you look at the right angle. I have not had that happen in the past, it's like it didn't even out after applying.
The wood was probably a little cold but I had the poly in the house so it wouldn't get cold, could that be some of the issue?
Just trying to figure out why it looks so bad compared to the rest of the bed I did a few years ago to see if you have any suggestions.
Also, this is a brand new can of Watco Wipe on Poly.
BTW, is there a temperature that the wood needs to be? Can I apply the poly (stored inside) when the wood is cold, like low 40's in the shop?
