I just wanted to express my thanks to Russ C, Rapid Roger, and Gray Beard. I spent 5 hours today, hand sanding my table back down to bare wood, I did it by hand because I know from experience that sanding polly mechanically causes the "boogers" to get too hot and fuse to itself. Any way, I wanted to say thank you for your advice...it worked. I thought I was going to have to scrap that table but you guys helped me save a project that is very important to me and my soon to be wife as it will be a focal point in our wedding. THANK YOU.
