Hello all:
I’m probably always in too big a hurry when it comes to finish, but…
How long do I have to wait after applying an oil-varnish blend like Watco to apply either paste wax or a film finish like Shellac?
I often hear people say they use oil under shellac to enhance figure, but does that mean you can apply the shellac after you buff dry the Watco finish or do you have to wait a day or several days for the finish to cure more?

Some say two weeks; others say two days. When a dry cotton rag no longer picks up stain is what I say.
With Watco/Minwax, use the red stains (mahoganye.g.) with caution as they take much longer to dry.
