Mqutkingdom Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I was told by a woodworker today that if you spay a fine mist on a single board shelf that is about 26" in lenth 9" in with and 3/4 " thick and let it sit for an hour and do the same to bothsides then put poly on. Then it will help retain it's shape cause it will not dry as fast and not gain a lot of moisture between coats. This conserns me greatly isn't the goal to keep moisture at a normal level not at an elivared level while applying poly just asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I think your gut is right. I would ignore that advice. Trapping moisture under any finish is generally a bad idea. And a light mist on the surface will most likely dry and evaporate within an hour. Furthermore, it will raise the grain. So you'll have to sand again before applying the finish.
