We finally had some warm, and dry, enough weather this past weekend in GA to where I could get some color on a desk I've been working on. The problem is there are a few spots on the top where some marks from the planner came through the dye stain.
The desk is made out of soft maple and was sanded #60, #120, #150, then sprayed with 1:3 shellac to alcohol mix and then lightly sanded again to #320 before the dye stain went on. After the #320 sanding, I looked at all of the pieces in all kinds of lights and angles to make sure I hadn't missed anywhere. Felt all of the pieces with my bare hands and eyes closed. They all felt baby butt smooth and I was sure I had everything as smooth as possible. So I was surprised to see this when the dye stain went on.
So am I screwed and have to sand it all back down and start over again? Will applying another coat of dye stain even the color out enough that I will be okay?
I've been working on this desk since November and don't want to screw it up now but I'm also about tired of working on it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
