Varnish feels tacky and won't fully harden.
Painted a small pine coffe table with B&Q varnish : 1st coat Antique Pine; 2nd coat Clear.
They were both Interior quality, water based varnishes - milky looking when applied but clear after application. Now the table feels tacky or sticky although nothing comes off, after 24 hours. Second coat was applied after 4 hours when 1st was dry. An area under the table which only has the first coat is fine.
What happened ? How do I sort it out ? Is it to do with mixing varnishes or applying 2nd coat too soon ?
