What can I do if my painted wood countertop feels chalky?
I have a 70 inch long, 36 inch wide piece of 3/4 inch thick plywood along with 4 metal (three rod) hairpin legs. The plywood has been sanded smooth, wiped down & sprayed with a white laquer paint. I let it dry overnight & then sprayed a clear laquer on top, but the piece still appears to have a "chalky" residue feel to it, rather than a slick laquer finish. Help!!

Bought a house and previous owners added a lower cupboard and laminate countertop. It feels a little rough but it is even.
It probably needs sanding. Try 0000 steel wool, wipe it clean and spray it again.
You would need more than one coat. Usually three coats to get a smooth finish. Should have used three coats of a water based polyurethane. Minwax Polycrylic is what I use.
Sprayed too dry. Try less air and look for the “flash” if you shot the clear coat.
