Ok its finally warm again in seattle and surface has had time to reflect on its misdeeds.
I sanded the surface off the table and benches with 220, wiped with mineral spirits, then a day apart i applied a pair of thin coats of the osmo extra clear using microfiber towel.
Maybe 20 minutes to sand and 20 minutes total to wipe the stuff on/off. Im happy with it. The extra clear finish is nice and drys fast so im not even going to try the polyx.
Im very happy with how little time it took to redo the coating - exactly what i wanted.
Surface feels fantastic but wow with the wiping i am noticing all the dust that settles on it every day. Now just got to christen the thing with a lamb curry and beers.
