I am finishing a white oak mission style table that was stained with a gilsonite-based wiping varnish from SW, thinned 50-50 with mineral spirits. For a top coat I'm using a 50-50 Minwax clear gloss/naptha mix.
1. How long can I wait between coats without having to sand between coats? I put on three coats today and I'd like to add a few more, several more to the top, but I won't be able to get to it until tomorrow-morning, noon, and night.
2. How long should I let the finish cure before I rub it out with wax and steel wool or a fine abrasive pad?
Thanks for your help and Happy Holidays! Tony
