swingin.little.guitarman	Re: Minwax Polyshades Drying Time Cutting the Minwax Polyshades with mineral spirits may have aggrevated your drying problem. Minwax specifically recommends against it. With 100 percent humidity you may be looking at drying times of a week or longer. I've used the Polyshades with good results, but I do not add mineral spirits. I use the finish straight from the can. Applying three coats within 24 hours is too much, especially considering your drying conditions. Your best course of action would be to allow the cabinet to dry for at least two or three weeks before trying something else.
