I got the last of 4 coats of "scrubbed on - wiped off" poly (ugh!) on my glue/finish cabinet. Yay! Then I started reinstalling hinges... no yay. I thought I wiped out the mortises pretty well, but they started very snug *before* finishing so... I was too tired (dummy me) and got a little heavy handed before I realized what was wrong. One mortise damaged a little. :( I scraped the edges of the others and the rest went fine with some unplanned time involved cleaning them up.
What do you do with a built up finish and butt hinge mortises? There has to be a better way. Oh, and the main areas I missed with the wiping were the inside corners of the mortises.
