It has been 2 weeks now, since I wiped a coat of tung oil (Woodcraft) on a pair of cherry vanity doors I made. I may have made a mistake of leaving them out in my unheated garage, I mean workshop, for the first 4 days, then I brought them in. I continued to wipe them down of excess oil. When I got home tonight after being away for 3 days, the doors are still not dry.
My guess is that they either need more time to dry, or they will never dry. Since I need to finish this project up very soon, I think I will need to strip them and try again, with lacquer or shellac.
Before I do that, would it be ok to put a thin coat of unwaxed shellac over the tung oil, or am I asking for trouble?
