Hi guys I am new to woodworking, so my question is: If you apply polyurethane (oil base) over a painted water base surface, will it dry in a normal amount of time? I applied a coat yesterday 9/30/09 @ 3:00 pm and it is still tacky 26 hrs later. is this abnormal?
What is the shop temperature, humidity levels? Could have some to do with it.
I have two through the wall a/c units I turn on the morning i am going to finish to remove the humidity.
The size of the decals were 12" X 12", but I got tired of waiting for them to dry so I removed the polyurithane on just the decals and left them alone and they turned out pretty good. the humidity in my basement is just fine about 40%
