Just got another computer after almost a month, so hadn't been able to check in or comment. Anyways, my preference for a first coat over oak would have been something thinned down to soak in better & help release bubbles.
At this point though, the only real option is to takes Jim's advice & set it in sun , Id say be patient & do it several days. Sorry, but ain't gonna rush yourself out of this one.
Speaking of red oak, got a custom 8' tall door and 2 sidelites at work to stain dark walnut & clear with matte clear probably tomorrow at my day job. Yee Ha. Had it sitting in AC last 3 days. Will most likely start off with intercoat clear as a sanding sealer and I'm not trying to hide any grain.
