On reflection, I'm not sure I've assessed the problem correctly. I'm pretty sure I'm correct to say there's been a build up of polish on the flat surface leading to the tide like markings, but I think I've got the mechanism, as described above, wrong. Whilst what I previously described does lead to fat edges and blobs of finish, I don't think this is what has happened here.

More likely, I suspect, is that what we're seeing is the second face to which the polish was applied. If the unseen face had polish applied first with that face sat upwards, along with applying polish to the edges, then with a build up of polish on those edges some of that polish could run down and along the face, caused by surface tension in the wet polish, and we see photographed. Later, when the panel was turned over and polish applied to that face it would also be applied over those blobs of polish that had run along that face from the edge previously polished.

Anyway, I'm still not sure I've got it right, but I think what I've described is a possibility. Slainte.

[QUOTE="Sgian Dubh, post: 1459514, member: 599"] On reflection, I'm not sure I've assessed the problem correctly.
