I'm using a mixture of 1/3 turpentine, 1/3 tried-and-true, and 1/3 Marine Spar varnish to finish my Kibler Colonial stock. I applied five coats of this mixture. The last coat was still sticky after four days, so I tried gently heating it with a hair dryer without much success. So, I tried rubbing the finish down with just a hint of turpentine, which seemed to dry everything up. What do I do next? Add a couple of CCs of turpentine to my 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 mixture and rub it in again? Shift to a commercial mixture of beeswax and orange oil? Or maybe use Permalyn as a top coat? Most of the pores seem to be filled in because I used a dowel to vigorously burnish the wood prior to trying to finish it?
