It's going on a week and the finish is still soft. I'm guessing they mean what they say about 72 hours @ 70 degrees. I don't keep my shop heated when I'm not in there, it's around 50 degrees usually.

Has anyone used other finishing options that don't require a plug to be on the turner for 24 hours? I know it looks great when it's done but this stuff is a real P.I.T.A! How does Afterhours do a big run of plugs w/this stuff? (It LOOKS like etex on the AH needle I'm holding!)....

I know it tends to yellow, but anyone ever try spar varnish? Any other product recommendations?

Any trade secrets would be appreciated Salty, Tattoo or JHabs if you're reading this! Thanks , Ake.
