bbarry9999 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hello all. I just completed my Christmas build of two end tables for my wife - delivered the stained product on Christmas and then applied 4 coats of arm r seal after the holiday. My question is how long should the final coat be allowed to cure before the table can be used. thanks for the help BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 you could probably "use" the table a couple of days after the last coat, glasses with coasters under them, no sliding heavy objects on them, probably take a full week or more for the finish to be completely cured.

estesbubba Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I used wiping varnish on our dining room table and a vase left indentations in the 2 week old finish. Since varnish takes 30 days to cure the safest bet is 30 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHoleInOne Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yep listen to Bubba! Longer the better. I would say a good 4 weeks to fully cure. I know it's hard to wait, but for full blow end-table service, time is your friend. -Ace- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
