The first coat was not full hardened, but dry enough. It took longer on the additional coats! I cut the first applications with turpentine. I think it took about a month for the oil to harden. You don't want to gob it on because you want it to dry, it's a drying oil. I am getting ready to put another application on. I will lightly sand this time and cut 3:1 oil to turpentine, I want to make sure the oil bleeds into all the cracks.
