I'm not sure if this is where this belongs, but here it is anyway.
We bought a bigger microwave/range hood, so I'm making a shorter cabinet that it will hang from. I had about an inch of stain left in the can that I used seven years ago. It was nasty and gooy, but not dried up. I only needed about a tablespoon full, so I went ahead and used it. I let the stain dry overnight and sprayed a coat of Deft (spray can) on it. I let that dry an hour or so, then brushed on a coat of Deft. I came back a couple hours later when that coat had dried only to find that it looked like hell. It was all scaley and looked milky. I hit it with some 320grit, but that did nothing. I turned the can of Deft over, it had "-11-04-DY-" stamped on it. So I'm assuming it was made in 2004.
The weird part is the inside of the cabinet was fine (it was sprayed and brushed just like the face frame, BUT NOT STAINED). That makes me think the problem might have been the old stain.
I sanded the face frame down and started all over with new stain and Deft, so it's a done deal now, but I'd still like to get some other opinions on just what went wrong.
Watcha'll think?
