Rubio Monocoat 2c timing (lemmy.ml)

Hey everyone, I’m putting Rubio on some Hickory shelves and finished the bottoms yesterday at about 8pm. How long do I have to wait before I can flip them over and do the tops? Only planning a single coat.

Everything I see says 24 hours between coats, or things of that nature, but I’d just be flipping them over on my horses. I’m hoping to avoid waiting 6 more before moving forward.

Honestly, if you have the little pins or something similar to set them on, I'd just do all sides at once and be done with it. Set it bottom side down on the pins and then it doesn't matter if there are tiny little defects.

I ended up just waiting the full 24 hours before flipping and doing the tops.
