The title says it all.
I'm using a new gallon can of Minwax satin poly on stained oak.
Wiped on the first coat thinned 25% with mineral spirits as often
described in this group.
Sanded and brushed on a full-strength second coat a week after the
wipe-on coat. Now, a week later, it still looks as if I just got done
putting it on - very shiny. The wiped-on coat did have a 'satin'
appearance once dry, though not as much as expected.
Can says it dries in 4-6 hours. It <<feels>> dry. Temperature
maintained at 75-77, AC keeping humidity down.
Ideas / suggestions? I got the satin to avoid the steel wool cycle.
Did you stir thouroughly. The flattening agents tend to settle to the
bottom of the can and stick there. You really have to dig it off the
bottom and stir thourougly. But don't shake. Unlike James Bond,
shaken not stirred is not a good thing with minwax.
