I am going to spray it again with the MinWax Polyurethane after the label dries. After that, I go with the wiring. I experienced “honeycomb” paint several times. This is the reason I suck at painting (to be honest) and I always keep redoing it (sanding/primer/etc) again and again.

I was so frustrated but at the end, I am happy where I am at now. Hopefully, it won’t get me honeycomb issues after the Polyurethane.
