I had a trim board all carved up (hours of routing into it) and put a second coat of polyurethane on it last night at dusk. I woke up this morning and it had tried with a white cloudiness to it. I realize now that it was too humid last night and condensation must have settle on it before it dried.

Any good solutions for fixing this? Being that its all carved, there are tons of nooks and crannies...plus I carved the rough side of the cedar board, so I don't think sanding it is a great idea either since I want the surface of the board to match the others.

Hey JF! I've had that happen to me in the past using spar urethane outside on my tiki bar top. I've had success with giving it a light sand with super fine grit paper, after it's fully cured, and painting on another layer of poly. I usually get some clouding over time on the bar top because of the rain/snow all year long, and a good sand/reapplication of a few fresh layers always did the trick. Wish you much success!

Mahalo!
