I sanded the bad parts down and it is actually looking better. I can't seem to get it perfectly smooth, but it is probably good enough for what I'm doing. I think I may be using too much pressure, because the parts I wiped real lightly seem to look pretty good, but the parts that I was rubbing it on sort of hard are where the problems are.
I think it is going to work this time, but I appreciate the offer. A bit more oil seems to be a part of the solution as well. Either way I'm going to finish this thing up start of the week.
