A day, two days, a week tops. Usually can't afford to have something sitting
around longer then that.

How long do you let your poly (final coat) cure before smoothing out with
0000 steel wool or pumice?

I don't have very much patience with finishes. I want it finished
yesterday. I like the look of poly after it's finished with pumice. Is
48
hours enough? Flexner says wait at least a month in Understanding Wood
Finishes. How long do you wait??
