How long does it take to completely dry?
I don’t use Japan dryer with one-part urethanes although I was recently told it can be done. I don’t recoat until the paint sands to dust without clogging the paper. It usually takes 2 days, this time of year maybe 3. (The longer you let the last coat dry the better. Sam Devlin recommends a month if you can stand the wait!) Right now I’m refinishing a hull to take to the Annapolis Power Boat show this weekend. (Don’t ask!) Its had an epoxy coat under the paint since FEB. It used to have a varnished interior (for “show and tell” at the WoodenBoat Show and MASCF), I’m redoing the interior in my preferred finish which is Brightsides with loads of Interlux Deglosser in the last coat to get a flat finish. No razor cuts inside or out: wash, sand very lightly, and paint. I love it. 5.
