Just impatient. I've been procrastinating on finishing this thing I'm building for my son to dry his hockey clothes.
It's a big box looking thing made od a redwood carcass with oak veneer paneling. It has a fan inside which sucks air across the sweaty hockey clothes. It'll be stored in his garge or his laundry room.
Why did you put danish oil on if you were going to top coat with poly? I normally wait 12 hours. If you do it sooner, the solvent just picks up the previous coat; sometimes giving really lousy results.
You'll get an ugly thing covered in a skin of polyurethane, rather than an ugly thing covered in a skin of polyurethane.
Strictly you'll prevent the danish oil from curing (depending somewhat on what sort of varnish this "danish" oil was mixed with). This will reduce the quality of the bond between the overlying polyurethane varnish film and the underlying timber. So you might reduce its wear behaviour, in case you happened to care.
In terms of what it looks like, I doubt you'll see any difference (hey, why not _try_ it and learn for sure?). But I wouldn't ever overcoat danish oil anyway, nor would I oil beneath poly. If I were going to use an oil and shellac finish (probably my most common) then I'd use tung oil rather than danish oil, and I'd use shellac rather than plastic mud.
As a hockey player myself and a wooddorker, I don't think it will much matter what happens for this project. I didn't even put any finish at all on my equipment drying rack. It will be fine.
Never thought the manufacturer was lying. I just didn't read the can till after my impatience had gotten the better of me. Ever just get tired of working on a piece and want it DONE?
