Poly question... - Tiki Carving

I've even noticed a change in poly drying times here in mild so cal. When I work on a project late into the evening (it starts getting dark and moist) - the poly will take FOREVER to dry (and that's at temps around 57 ish). I've had tikis take several days to cure because of moisture. I can only imagine what it would be like at colder temps. Maybe you grabbed the jar of honey instead of poly damn...I hate when that happens. But what's worse in when you grab the jar of poly instead of honey...I really need to store these things further apart. (gives your insides a nice shine, though)
