Minwax has ruined enough of my projects. I’m looking for recommendations for wood finishing products, particularly stains and wiping varnishes, that actually work, are readily available on the East coast of the United States, and are not manufactured by Sherwin-Williams.
Question, are you giving the black can minwax polyurethane a full month to cure? I do smaller projects and it's fully cured after 30 days for me. I'll have to try leaving a penny on a cured piece for a while to test.
If it takes 30 days to cure it's definitely banned from my shop. I don't have room for something to sit around uselessly while it dries for an entire month.
One correction. It dries in several hours or so but does not fully harden for a month.
