I was applying a 1/3 linseed (home depot), 1/3tung(Behlen pure), 1/3 poly (minwax 4 hour gloss), after the third coat I didn't wipe off the excess in time. It appeared to dry as a sheet of glass but one side edge has what appears to be waxy crystaline deposits. The side that is messed up was in the location where the most air would circulate. I am curious what the goo might be, it feels like wax. I sanded it off, clogging many sheets of paper. I'm reluctant to proceed with more finish. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
