Because wood is unevenly absorbent, it is common to see uneven color and sheen after the first coat. An uneven blotchiness after the second coat indicates that OSMO Polyx-Oil has been over-applied in some areas, or under-applied in some areas. The solution would be to either sand-off the excess Polyx-Oil once dry, or to apply a very thin third coat in dry areas, making sure to remove any excess material left on top of the wood.
