Nitromors-white residue question

Hi,
Could someone please give me advice on the following.

I've used Nitromors varnish stripper on a teak sideboard to remove the dark varnish on it. I followed the instructions but what looks like a 'white residue' was left behind. When I wipe it down with methylated spirits or white spirits, it goes away and I can see the natural wood but then the 'white residue appearance' comes back when it dries!

Anyone any ideas on what I did wrong or what I can do to fix it? Don't want to go near the rest of the sideboard with nitromors until I can sort it out.

Thank you.

ye it sometimes happens if it disappears when you wet it with meths then it will be fine when you refinish it. just give it a light sand with 320 grit sandpaper to give your new finish a key and be careful on the edges. as it might be veneered and you don't wan to sand through the veneer.

Thanks for that. So it is nothing to worry about, just take it off with fine sandpaper and continue as normal?

no don't try to sand it of just give it a light sand to allow the new finish to get a good grip on the wood
