: Yuck. There is definitely some kind of contamination on the surface. I'd sand
: it again, wipe down with warm water or rubbing alcohol and dry it with a
: clean rag or paper towels. If you look on the CLC website, there is a page
: on varnishing tips and it says that mineral spirits and acetone can be
: full of impurities. Or, as stated already, your rag could have been dirty.

One of the problems with many solvents commercially available that they don't tell you when you buy it, is that most of it's recycled and thus isn't perfectly clean, can be full of impurities. Have friends working in the industrial chemical industry, find out all sorts of things from them :)
