I finally called out a client for wanting to polyurethane over uncured Danish oil

He insisted it was fine because the piece 'felt dry' after two days, but I had to explain how the trapped oil would never fully cure and would stay gummy forever, so has anyone else had to fight this specific battle?

Can't believe he thought two days was enough.

My last client tried to rush a tung oil finish in three days. I had to show him a sticky drawer slide from a past rush job to prove my point.
