I’m refinishing these doors on the hinges. I applied a general finishes 450 water based poly. Two coats so far. Having trouble getting a smooth application in spots as you can see in the pictures. How can I fix these spots on the pics zoomed in. They seem to be uneven or dull or too shiny. Even dull and shiny at the same time.

Also any tips on how to feather in where two different grains meet up? One section will already be tacky by the time I’d like to feather in to the opposing grain section.
