Sitka knows.
Never had much luck with the heavy coat and wipe method. But that's me, don't have the technique right I'm sure. Why you make practice pieces.
If you ever have problems with the "Apply Heavy, Wait, then Wipe" routine there are only two sources of issues, your oil or your rag. If your rag drags while wiping, you waited too long. If pieces of your rag end up in your finish you need a different fabric, old bedsheets work well. If it takes too long to build wait a little longer before rubbing dry, or learn to be more patient.
