This is a request for advice on how to remedy a lacquering job that turned cloudy. To the surface of a new kitchen stool made from white oak, I applied six coats of shellac with pore filler applied between each coat until the surface was smooth (to match the smooth surface of an old stool in my kitchen). I then sprayed six coats of Mohaw Finisher’s Choice Clear Lacquer in a spray can. After letting it dry for two weeks, I noticed a hint of cloudiness in the lacquer. At that point, I didn’t know cloudiness in lacquer finish is generally caused by moisture trapped under the surface during application and thought perhaps wax would remove it. So I put on a layer of Howard Feed-n-Wax and buffed it. The next morning, the top of the stool was as white as if it were covered with the pool of milk! It has remained solid white for the five days since I applied the wax. On the advice of the wax manufacturer, I removed the wax using mineral oil but the whiteness hasn't diminished. Would applying lacquer thinner to cause the lacquer to go through the drying process again remove the moisture? Any other suggestions for getting rid of solid-white cloudiness in a lacquer finish?
