DAE wait way longer than the can says for finish to dry?
I keep hearing other finishers talk about using fast dry stuff to get jobs done quick, and I just don't agree. Last spring I had a big oak dresser to do. I put on a coat of oil based varnish and let it sit for four full days before even thinking about the next one. A guy I know would have blasted through it in a day with his quick dry spray. His pieces often feel sticky or show marks after a few weeks. My dresser still looks perfect and feels rock solid. Yeah, customers sometimes get antsy waiting, but I explain it's for the best. Letting things dry slow makes the finish last years longer. For me, that patience is part of doing a good job, not just a fast one.
