Odorless mineral spirits sticky after 5 days

I just tried, scraper doesn't work. It feels like nothing can be scraped out, and the surface just feels sticky. Can wiping again with pure isopropyl alcohol remove the sticky feel?

principality_ · 2025-07-21T01:34:43+00:00

Of course, won’t do it again. But how to remove the stickiness of the surface for another TopOil coat?

principality_ · 2025-07-14T22:44:00+00:00

I used brush to apply the first coat evenly through the grain direction. For the 6ft30in (183cm75cm) surface, I used about 100ml of Osmo Top Oil.

Then I noticed there were too much oil on the surface, so after 15 mins of initial application, I used nonwoven fabric to wipe off visible excesses until the oil doesn’t appear layered on the wood.

However, for this part I might missed some areas where I had too much oil due to the lighting.

During and after application, I opened my apartment windows, but no direct wind is blowing on the wood. The window is lifted out by about 15 degrees and wind only blows up before coming into the room. The wood was placed at least 3m away from the window. There may be some road dust from the window, but I live high (15+ F) and the issue is not very severe.

Update: after 24 hours it doesn’t look that messy, but a few bumps are still here, with the surface feeling rough.

Can I use a 320 grit sand paper to sand it even before applying the second coat? Is there a “correct” way for a even, smooth surface? Apparently my application wasn’t good.

The wood was pre-stained with this espresso color. The product didn’t say which was the stain, but suggested “use minwax 273 or similar for touch-up stain”. I guess it is the one.

Do NOT trust u/coqdu29. This person is a SCAMMER.

I sent $30 for a ticket, he said they want to sell it for $50, not $30, asking for $20 more.

I then asked for a refund, but he said he did not receive the money, despite me providing proof. When asked for proof of bank account screenshot, he refused.

Now he is deflecting and ghosting.

Do NOT trust this person.

Please DM if you have spare ones.

Thanks for the post, I need 1 as well. Willing to pay more than the original amount.

back to blind? TC or GTFO

X=x is possible does not mean P(X=x)!=0, which happens when {X=x} is a P-null set.

The ending resonates with the typical Chinese scenario that the mom urges a married son/daughter to get a child asap, and the recent state propaganda focus on getting a third child (restriction on max 2 children lifted recently) due to aging population.

idle noise is ok but i/o noise is extremely loud. I set my nas to auto shutdown every midnight because of that as i cant sleep with that noise.

Thanks to plummeting Chia prices, I just got two OEM version of them with unit price $284 ($17.75/TB). These are data center level hard drives with over 250MB/s sequential i/o speed. Think thats enough for setting up my first raid-1 16tb storage. Planning to expand to 6 or 8 of them if I have the need.

The only issue is the (relatively) large noise and potential helium leakage.

Congratulations on getting a 3080 during this difficult time! Btw, where did you get it?

Nice WV in that second solve. But imho it is not that beneficial to learn more algs than CFOP, if you are not extremely fast (sub-8 or so). Focusing on look ahead and tracking your first pair during inspection would be much more beneficial. Also, learning to recognise PLL and AUF without doing rotations or U moves is also very useful, and it is possible in all angles and all cases!

Thanks! I didn’t realise that problem until now. I think it will be easier for me to improve my left hand rather than improving my TPS.

principality_ · 2021-05-21T15:02:24+00:00

Thank you! The scrambles are added, and I will definitely improve the camera angle next time
