Your burn works are Great but would have been better done before the finish, You are probably right about some reaction, the heat brings the moisture up, the burn rempves the finish and the opening sweats out gunk. It will eventually cure but Should be (cough,cough) sanded over the burns and allowed to dry or the moisture may bring on the mold!. Excellent everywhere, even Beyond excellent. It shows that you have a perfectionist art background too. So you spent at Least $260.00 on stuff to build him, spent countless hours from start to finish so that means you will probably sell him for say $125.00 ?? lol :o Hurry and start another one and tell your wife Not to skimp on the photos next time. :D Looks like some heavy duty vac-u-form equip, silk screen stuff and print stuff maybe? Cool machines. Very Well Done!
