Hi All.
I finished my coffee table with two coats of pure tung oil (may be I
should apply at least one more) and now want to apply top coat of poly.
So, the question is how long should I wait before applying top coat of
poly? I really like tung oil but would like to find some faster drying
alternatives by the way.

Hi Dmitri;
You might look into Tried & True varnish oil as a faster drying finish.
Here's a link for you:

If I were to put poly over this oil I would wait at least 2 weeks.

Does is it look better then pure tung oil? The reason that I like tung
oil is that results look better then anything I tried so far, it
definitely look better than Watco Danish Oil and Teak Oil. And it smells
really nice. But it takes really long time to dry.

Nothing to do with poly, but I have Tried&True varnish on a little black
cherry project (a coat hood board, shaped, etc.) a couple of days ago
and -- on cherry at least -- the results are astounding. The drying time
is better then unpolymerized tung oil, but still requires 24 hours
according to the can for re-coat and rub out. I will be trying it on oak
soon to see if the bleed-out is as bad as tung oil. But the look on
cherry is absolutely astounding. I can't believe people stain cherry
when this kind of look is available (I know..sapwood...but still).
