Advice needed using MinWax Wipe-On Poly Clear Satin in low temps
And repairing Ply onion skin
This was hand sanded with 100 grit.
It was perfect.

then tried cleaning up glue marks on the edge.

And a bit too much in the orange dot in the top left corner.
Any suggestions on how to fix that dot?
Also found Minwax Wipe-On Poly.
No info found on using in low temps.
Don't know how long I've had it.
No info on age.

Date of manufacturing is usually on the bottom of the can.
It hasn't been stocked in ages. So I'm guessing that it is well over 3 years old.
Low temp application used to take a long time to set hard.

No date on the can.
Still liquid.
Surprisingly warm yesterday at 14° in full sun for a few hours.
Took full advantage.
Got the first coat on before the rain hit at 4pm.
The smell wasn't that strong so, after a few hours, moved it inside to dry.Thanks,

How was the colour of the wop? Not too brown. I have found the older it is in the tin the browner it is.

The project is dark red to light brown.
Thankfully, the client was happy with the satan finish and not the gloss.
I really like the darker tone from the WOP.
It really brings out the grains.
The client loves it after just the second coat.
Waiting for it to dry in 12°c weather.
Normally 2-3 hours in 24°c weather.
So 6 hours wait is excruciating.
Luckily it's 5+ hours and not just peaking at 1pm and then back down.
And no rain.
I was worried it would bubble like house paint when the moisture content is too high.

LOL!
I wish.
I've never been that lucky.
Hard to see it in the pics.
So, hopefully, you have to be right on top of it looking for it to find it.
In retrospect, striving for perfection is over rated.
Don't sweat the small stuff.
It'll do for a temporary desk during restrictions.
As long as the client is happy, I'm super happy.Thanks,

Usually about 3 days. Once the wop dries there is negligible odour.

I gave up on the pre-prepared WOPs as more often than not I binned half the can when it went to jelly or worse.
On here a chap recommended a 50/50 mix of white spirits and a quality poly varnish from the can.
I've found I need a bit more than half of the poly, ie: a bit more poly than spirits. Mix what I need when I need, works superbly, especially after a few coats with a light sand between, the usual process. And no more into the bin..

Thanks heaps David.
I'll try that on my next project.
This is the only thing I had available to me without risking the $1600 covid fine.Thanks,
