   To be on the safe side, I'd try the process on a leftover scrap. I have applied Fuhr finishes from Homestead Finishing an hour after wiping on a very light coat of boiled linseed (and scrubbing off any excess oil with dry rags) but in your case I'd probably wait about 3 days, or at least until no residue comes off a clean dry rag. I've had finish adhesion failure before and it was NO fun. Don

   In addition to what Don and Ron said, if you have any suspicion that the poly will not get a good grip on any surface because of oiliness and other contaminants, consider the purpose made sealer Zinnser SealCoat. It's a dewaxed shellac formulation all ready to go in a can. As I understand it, it's formulated specifically for such barrier coat purposes, yet it can be used as a finish in its own right.

   I've used it a few times since it came on the market with success, and if you want to experiment with it you should be able to buy it for less than $10 a quart. I was quoted $6-50 yesterday by my regular polish supply house. Slainte.
