Folks -
I put two coats of Minwax Golden Pecan on the cradle yesterday, will do
final coat today. How long should I let the finish cure before I put a coat
of wax, or three, on it? I am planning on giving the cradle to my niece on
Thursday evening.... Can I wax it on Thursday morning? I am keeping the
cradle in a warm room to speed curing....
TIA

The label on the can should have a 1-800 number you can call and
ask the manufacturer. That's what I do.

Hi John,
Thursday of what week? If you are talking tomorrow, the poly will hardly be dry
let alone "cured". Poly takes up to 30 days to cure with most of it happening in
the first week or so. If you are waxing it to rub out the finish I think waiting
a few weeks is the minimum time required. Cheers, JG

I agree. Patience is a virtue when it comes to finishing. Even paint
takes a month to fully cure.
