Minwax Polyshades Drying Time

Owen | Minwax Polyshades Drying Time I'm using Minwax Polyshades Honey Pine Glossy and Mineral spirits cut 50/50. I've put 3 coats on the tweed in 24 hours, starting thin, and put one on last night a little thicker. I'm very careful and do a very consistant and even job. The humidity has been near 100 percent here for the last few days, and I expect more of it. But my concern is that my tweed is going to continue to look like it is now. It looks wet, splotchy, with some areas that seemed to soak up a little more than others. It is still somewhat tacky and not glossy at all. I hope that when it dries this ugly appearance goes away. According to the Minwax can, this bad boy should be dry by now. I've read from someplaces that it wasn't necessary to use Mineral Spirits, but then I heard here that it was to get an even coat. I know poly takes a LONG time to dry but I wonder if I've done the wrong thing by staining the tweed. Anyone else been in the same place, have any words of wisdom for me? Thanks! |
