The only times I've ended up with the crinkles is if I added a coat more than 2 hours after first coat. This happened because first coats were skinned over but wet under.

That may or may not be your problem, but you might try sanding it back down -- and seal it with poly first -- let dry for 2 days -- then paint lightly as if you're painting sheet metal. This needs much less paint than going straight to wood. This has worked nicely for me lately

Thanks for the reply!

"Poly" as in polyurethane? I'm planning to spray it all with a polyurethane clear coat after painting. You're saying to use that as a primer as well?

Yes. I've tried it a few times - though you should know that somebody at Ace told me that it may be a problem later as far as flaking off when the poly gets older but I don't know.

I haven't had any trouble with it -- but I do more wall hanging stuff as opposed to furniture that gets wear. Something to watch -- and learn
