Hi all,

I have an old pub table which I sanded down in order to remove what I think was old vanish which had become soft. I sanded using 80 grid paper which should give a good key for any finish.

I applied an initial coat of yacht gloss however when checking on it this morning around half of the varnish has pooled and there's also some spots which are still tacky.

The table is in my garage so i did expect perhaps it to take a while longer to dry because of the outside temperature but these spots are in stark contrast to the other areas of the table where the varnish has gotten rock hard.

Any ideas what is causing this and what I can do to stop the pooling?

Many thanks.

only an amateur but

I would have sanded to a much finer finish, diluted the initial varnish, and used several thin layers
