Fast curing finish
|

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?

+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.

The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you don't care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

Here's a link to purchase Ships out same day and I always get mine in 1 day shipping because it ships from Illinois.

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.

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