Dear All,
I put these tables away last year because I was getting tired of messing with the finish. Not once, but twice I cut through the top coat and colour coat down to raw wood when trying to cut back the finish flat. I kept getting little craters in the finish that needed to be sanded out. The table top is red oak with ebony inlay, the colour layer is a water based aniline dye and the top coat is gloss oil based poly, brushed on.
I put another coat of finish on tonight and I got the little craters again. I am very close to setting fire to these table tops and building new ones. I have never had this happen to *any* finish before and I didn't do anything different with this finish than any other finish I have applied.
As I brush the finish on, I can watch it climb away from certain spots on the table and form little craters, no matter how many times I brush the finish out, always in the same places.

Can this be fixed?
Thanks,
David.
