Oaklane<BR>The drying trouble related to the varathane 66 is always related to finish which has been opened and not used within 6 mos. Fresh, it will dry rapidly even on wet wood. In the 20 plus years I have been using it, I have never seen, or heard of, a compatibility problem.<P>All of the secret blends and mixes that get thrown in and on a stock are what cause problems down the road. Any drivers, such as turpentine, will evaporate and when the do they create channels down into the wood. Guess what, water in vapor form can get in and out of those channels. It is the changing moisture conditions which cause problems in wood stability. Never thin finish unless it cannot be done full strength. <P>Nothing is as painless, fool-proof and cheap as the 66. There is a reason why so many custom stock makers use the stuff. If used under an oil it will limit the problems they can lead to.<BR>art<P>------------------<BR>Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun.
