Well, I’m really confused now. I did some more research and I’m getting conflicting advice. Some say to wait the 4 weeks for the BLO to cure, others say that it’s ok to wait 3-4 days until the BLO is surface dry, sand lightly, then go over with a 50/50 thinned oil-based poly. Still others say wipe on a 1/3-1/3-1/3 mix of oil-based poly, mineral spirits and BLO (from what I’ve read, also, the proportions aren’t critical). The only thing I’ve read so far that is a big no-no is to use water-based poly over the BLO.
