My latest dresser turned hazy from a simple oversight
I was putting a water based poly over an oil stain without a proper seal coat. Now the whole top looks milky and I have to sand it down again. Make sure you use a shellac barrier or let the stain cure for a full week, I mean it. Maybe it's just me but this can really mess up your project if you rush it.

Yeah dewaxed shellac is the only thing I trust for that barrier coat. Sometimes I wait two full weeks if the weather's humid, that milky haze is the worst.

Oh man, henderson.val is totally right about that wait time. I read somewhere that the dewaxed stuff can still get weird if you rush it in damp air. Two weeks sounds smart lol.
