I realized I messed some things up with my waterbased polycrylic finish and decided to strip it.
The stripping went pretty well and I have since sanded off the stain from the top of the table. The problem I am noticing is that in the pores of the grain, there still seems to maybe be some finish in there. If I rub my finger across the grain, it come out stringy, almost like rolling dough.
I am planning on using filler for the grain, but worry about the current finish that is in the grain. How should I go about fixing this? I am worried about your suggestions as there is a lot of grain I have to contend with!
I plan on ultimately filling the grain, restaining, and then finishing the top with waterbase polycrylic again, sans mistakes!
