Thanks for the good description.  I recently got "Understanding Wood
Finishing" by Bob Flexner,  a book I highly recommend.  He mentions the
mist coating also as an antidote to using the fish eye remover.  He
explains that fish eye remover works basically by introducing many many
tiny fish eyes into the mix so that no large noticeable fish eyes have a
chance to form. It is ironic to me that the basic substance found in fish
eye remover used to deal with silicone problems is silicone oil!
