I made a cherry and maple cutting board and I want to hasten the darkening of the cherry. I already applied some tung-poly and I have it out in the sun.
Should I wait until the tung-poly has cured before tanning in the sun? I assume the sun will speed up the curing process as well.?.
Thanks
I'd wait until the finish has cured before placing it in the sun. Unless the finish has a UV blocker, direct bright sunlight will darken the cherry fairly quickly. Normally I would do the exposure before applying the finish.
