finish question

Working on this ebony/birdseye sneaky finish. Using Solarez. The rest of the cue is perfect, but im getting this cloudiness near buttcap area in just the ebony. It is only on this one side. Thoughts and and/or remedies? Im leaning towards dirty under coat of finish or moisture on layer finish.

Looks like you're sanding through the finish in those spots, exposing bare wood.

i agree with qbilder. i had the same problem with some purple heart. sanded with 320 and applied another coat, worked out well. good luck.

It's very easy to tell with ebony if you sanded thru, there will be black dust on your sandpaper. If it's not a sand thru, did you wipe the ebony down this acetone or denatured alcohol before sealing? Did you use the endgrain sealer that Solarez makes?
