Drying Times

• Shellac Polishes: Touch dry 20 minutes; de-nib after 1 hour; cured after 7 days
• Waxes: General public use: - Apply sparingly and buff within a couple of minutes. Trade use for a greater shine: - Apply a thin, even film across the surface. Wait for 15 mins or more for the solvent to evaporate and buff. This technique is to be used directly, wax on wood. For lacquered or surfaces with a build of shellac or French polish underneath, adopt the General public application, (above) and limit the application to relatively small areas. This will avoid a smeary build up on a lacquered surface that is hard to buff off.
• Water based Lacquers: Touch dry 30-40 mins depending on room temperature (cold and damp conditions will slow drying considerably) 1 hour between coats. Handled next day, fully cured after three days.
