Peace Painting Co., Inc. on Apr 26, 2012Karen, three days should work for normal use. It will still not be fully cured for a good cleaning or scuff resistance for a couple of weeks. Best, CharlesHelpful Reply

Debi M on Apr 26, 2012If they are "greasy" feeling, wash them first using murphy oil soap. Then a light sanding should take care of any other residue, unless they are heavily scratched.Helpful Reply

Peace Painting Co., Inc. on Apr 27, 2012Yes any grease needs to come off and they need to be scuffed up with a fine sanding sponge. A water based liquid deglosser will accomplish the cleaning and scuffing in one and not leave an oily residue like the oil soap. Then you are ready for priming and painting. When priming over existing stained work, it's nice to use an oil primer for extra adhesion to the old hard varnish. Best, CharlesHelpful Reply

Karen D on Apr 27, 2012I painted the legs and stained the top. The label says to let it dry 3 days before light use. This is my first varnishing project and I didn't want to mess it up! Thanks for all your responses.Helpful Reply

Donna McCrummen on Apr 27, 2012It's best to wait as long as you have the patience for. At least three days. For the chairs just clean them and then use CeCe Caldwell's paint. No sanding, no priming. It will cover in one coat if you're going light over light or dark over dark two if dark over light. It really is time saving. www.shabbydaze.com for more info. Post your pics!Helpful Reply
