Accidentally used wood conditioner instead of topcoat

Hello,

I am refinishing my dining room table and was doing the fourth and final topcoat today. In my sleep deprived state I grabbed the wrong can and used a wood conditioner instead of the topcoat. I didn't notice until about two hours later when it wasn't drying. I wiped off the conditioner but now the table feels a little slick. What should I do? My top coat was General Finishes Arm-R-Seal urethane and the wood conditioner was Varathan Premium Wood Conditioner. Thanks

Welcome to the forums!

Shouldn't be a big deal, just wipe the wipe the table down good with a rag damp with thinner, sand lightly with 220 grit, remove the dust and apply your final coat like you intended.
