I'm refinishing some drawers, and the first coat of poly doesn't seem to be drying properly. While some surfaces are nice, hard and smooth, others are still tacky three days after application, and in other areas, the poly seems to have seeped into the wood leaving the surface, well, almost untouched. (Okay, I did dilute the stuff pretty severely with paint thinner.)
The thing is, those surfaces which are still tacky... I'd like to know what might be causing this. (It could be that my basement shop is too humid. This has been a record-breaking week for this in my area.) I'd like to know if I should just try a new coat of less-silute poly over it, or if I should strip it off and start over.
By the way, the project with photos can be seen at
