Terry, I think you neglected to mention the reason for breaching the layers on your final rub. Were you not wet sanding the finish with water before the finish developed full cure? I have found the water and sanding do not mix on a water-borne finish. Although it is not as extreme as wet sanding a lacquer finish with lacquer thinner it is still softening the finish and causing blotching. I had one product which actually lifted off in a sheet from sanding with water even after three days drying. Three days is not full cure but the minimum period before final rub. PianoLac is a great product developed by an actual, working, piano refinisher. Just to touch a bit on the product's grain-filling sanding sealer, a filler is still best to help avoid pulling-in over time. Filling the short-pores and pin holes is where this material excels, deep pores should be filled with PianoLac Grain Filler.
