I installed some reclaimed red pine 5/4 that still had original finish on it along with 100 yrs of dirt and who knows what. deep sanded, wire brushed, stained with Bona Drifast, let dry for 12 hrs, finished with Loba sealer, when applying the first Loba top coat white blotches showed up on certain boards. Their original pine we sanded turned it perfect. I'm thinking its some contaminate in the newly installed pine, cold be wax? We scraped the areas to bare wood, recoated everything and 3/4 came back. Any ideas of things I can try? Board replacement is my last option. It would involve at least 40 boards
Just a note, I've seen this white patchy look before when applying WB finish but it normally disappears. Not sure what this is. Scary stuff.
