Re: Minwax Polyshades Drying Time
Hey everyone, thanks for all the advice etc. Tom, your amp looks awesome! I think I prefer that to even a tinted look.  
 
Well, my amp seems to be a lot less splotchy. I think if I let it dry a few more days it will be as good as it is going to get. Then I don't think it will be anything another UNDILUTED coat shouldn't cover! Basically at this point, as diluted as the poly was, it looks like one coat of the honey pine. It looks nice, but I'd like a little more gloss.  
 
So, hopefully some others will learn from my mistake. Humidity is definitely a determining factor in the result of the staining. At best, I think the whole undertaking is risky.  
 
On a good note, I fired up my Marsh 5E3 today and it worked perfectly, a bit of hiss, as expected. Looking forward to plugging in tomorrow.
