I have been cutting between 1 and 3 puzzles at a time and haphazardly drying them above a painters tray on a plastic grid thing I recycled from somewhere. I dip (usually a plastic bag), wait 30 minutes, dip again, wait about 15 minutes, then wipe clean and allow to finish curing, usually flipping once or twice to minimize marks and sticking. I probably need to branch out beyond danish oil one day, but it worked and I am a creature of habit. I am now seeing the value in dipping or finishing more puzzles at one time and am curious how everyone else dries multiple puzzles or projects for efficiency. I have only had a few lines in the finish due to the rack which cleaned up okay, but I would love to do a better job, more efficient job, of handling more projects at once. Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

Hello all, I made a name plaque for someone graduating from as a PA and I used 1 coat of Natural Danish Oil on it. Would Varnish or Polyurethane adhere to it now? This is my first name plate I make Size: 9" wide x 2-1/4" total height. I appreciate your comments Thank you Sam

Finally got enough bird houses cut to start thinking about finishing. Decided on clear Danish oil. Worried that I would have to "babysit" them and keep turning if I tried to soak them in a pan to keep all sides wet and submerged. Instead, I packed them in a pint canning jar and poured it completely full and then screwed on the lid. When soak time was done, I blew off the excess with the compressor and hung them to dry for a few hours. Worked like a charm. Good even finish and no drips or bubbles. These are destined to be Christmas presents, so I am going a few extra steps with them like painting the birds. Pictures when I get them done. Have about ten more glued up to drill and cut. (Work is much easier in poplar--started with maple and just about made firewood out of the whole lot.)

Hi all, Seeking some advice around finishing. I have a coaster set I am doing and I'd like to apply Danish oil on it first and then put a clear coat of poly after. Looking for suggestions surrounding the application process. There are a lot of internal cuts and therefore a lot of nooks and crannies. I'd like to be able to get all the internal cuts with oil that way it's not a big deal if I miss them with the poly spray. I saw one idea to soak it in a small bowl of oil wax mix but I feel like that's a lot of oil going to waste and might not dry properly. Other than applying the oil to the nooks with a small brush I'm out of ideas. Thoughts. Thanks Tom
