There is a small area where I feel roughness. At first I thought is was some adhesive or glue, but it didn't clean off. It's almost like something touched that area when the finish wasn't dry. Slightly bumpy patch. Does anyone have any tips on how to smooth this patch out. I'm worried about put anything too abrasive to it, I might just leave it alone.
Thanks in advance.

Hello hrod455,
I have sent your post to my contacts at the factory to get any advice they can provide regarding the rough patch.
BTW, where are you located?
Stay tuned.
HI Craig,
Oh so lightly hitting it with 1500 grit sandpaper &/or 0000 steel wool should do the trick.
From the description that’s what I would most likely try if it were here.
Thanks,

Very happy with the results..like there was never an issue!
Thanks for the help.
