Bruce /Mission Amps	Re: Minwax Polyshades Drying Time When or where does Minwax specifically recommend not using mineral spirits as a thinner for the polyshade products? I know that can says thinning isn't recommended but I'm sure that's so a "do it yourselfer" won't have a thin runny finish on his resurfaced table top... or whatever the current project is. As far as I know, mineral sprits is the the solvent for this stuff. Out here the normal humidity is well under 25% most of the time and I've not had this problem, but, I've always waited a day or two between any thinned coats too. Bruce
