Hi everyone. I've been a member for a few months, and a contributor for a few days. This is my first post in the turners forum.
I've decided to finish a mortar and pestle using Shellawax for the first time. I followed the instructions but this stuff hardens so fast that I have super smooth streaks on the mortar. I'm thinking I created too much heat using high speed (1800 rpm) when applying it causing it to harden too fast. I normally would use EEE cream and then sometimes follow with Behlen's woodturners finish.
Any other ideas as to what I did wrong and more importantly, what's the best way to fix this? I know I can sand it all down and start over but would like to know if there is a quick fix for this.
Thanks in advance.20181113_154000.jpg
