---------------------------------------------------------
We are getting into one of the two times of the year (the other is mid-summer) that we start having problems with finishes. All finishes, including CA glue, work their best when the temperature and relative humidity are at 70F and 70%. We start having problems when we get too far away from this ideal condition, and the farther away, the worse the problems. At the extremes, we shouldn't be trying to put a finish on a piece of wood if we have to wear a jacket, or if there is sweat dripping off our nose.
Unless we do our work in a controlled environment, we will be entirely at the mercy of the weather. We will have a lot of problems right now because the weather is unsettled, and there can be wild swings in both humisity and temperature from one day to the next. Unless our work area is heated, we will have to watch the weather report, and that may be a better answer to our finishing problems than anything we can say here.
