Drying time of alcohol stain.

Post by Mike Perez »

I stained several test pieces of mahogany with Stew Mac Color Tone liquid amber stain using Behkol alcohol.
How long should I wait before applying any wipe on polyurethane or Zpoxy? Thank you.

Overnight should be sufficient.

Zpoxy fisheyed real bad over the alcohol stain. I used Norton sandpaper rather than the 3M i had been using. I'm not sure if the Norton caused it or another contaminant. I'll test them both once more.
