Fast curing finish - cad - 12-22-2015
Ok so I've procrastinated again this year and have only a couple of days to apply finish on some picture frames. I need something that cures within a day or 2. Or at least dry enough. I was thinking either minwax poly or lacquer. Suggestions?

Shellac.

Nearly anything in a spray can.

+1 on shellac.
Lacquer dries quickly to the touch, but it off-gases for a good while afterward. Not bad for a small object in a big room, but if you're in a hurry, it's not great for a large object in a small room.
Poly stays tacky longer, in my experience. I wouldn't use it if I were in a hurry.

so depending on where you live? you'll have it before Christmas and can complete your projects in time.
plus you'll use it again and again once you've tried it once!

Shellac it dries in ~15 min and the lack of chemical resistance doesn't matter oi a picture frame.

According to the can Watco Danish Oil is dry in less than a day.
It's easy to apply, looks good, and comes in natural or colors. It's not for taking wear or exterior but something like a picture frame seem ideal for me.
I hope so. I just used it on a picture frame that I put the picture in a couple days later.

Shellac. Even easier, finishing wax.

Another vote for shellac. Spray cans are readily available at Lowes & HD. Ideal for this kind of situation, IMHO.
