Question 12

I just applied this product to my cedar deck and I am having trouble with the sheen. Where the sections overlapped there is a thin line of sheen that is different than the rest.

Question 47

I have been searching everywhere and I cannot find a solution to how to remove polywhey. I understand that it is a good product but I do not like the look of it on my indoor trim at all. I cannot find product lists, and when I called the company all they would tell me is that it contains whey and that I should sand it off. Given that this is an indoor application, that just isn't feasible. Everything has a solvent but I just can't figure out (short of using a horrible paint stripper) how to remove it without sanding?
