Recently i completed a project that I used Behlen Jet Black dye for the top as requested. I let it dry overnigtht, longer that needed. For the top coat i used 2 coats of Minwax clear Woodsheen. I let this dry for several days and then applied a coat of Minwax paste wax before I delivered the project. My daughter took the table to her office and got some snow on the finish on the way in and proceeded to wipe it off as soon as the table was in place. I got an immediate phone call. The cloth used to dry the water/snow was covered with black and my daughter said she wiped the dye off down to bare wood. I told her that had to be the most toxic snow I had ever seen. When i looked at the table top it did infact look like there were spots with no dye and bare wood was showing through. To shorten the story I applied some more Minwax paste wax and now the top looks good. There are no spots that appear to be bare wood. I did instruct my daughter not to use any liquids of any sort on the top. Can someone help me and maybe explain what I did wrong. I have used dyes before and have NEVER had this problem. Behlen dyes are my favorite products.
