hey /diy/, I'm making a guitar from a kit I bought and I thought it would be cool to do a lichtenberg figure on it. The process involves coating the outside with a mixture of water and baking soda and I was wondering how long I should wait for it to dry before I start staining and poly coating it?

The wood is mahogany and I have no idea how long it will take to dry. I've had it sitting in front of a fan for about 2 days. I just don't want the stain to get fucked up or it to start warping from residual moisture later on, it did soak up a decent amount of water (about a cup).

But honestly a few days maybe, what kind of humidity/temps are we talking about?

You might consider throwing it in a trash bag with a container of damp rid. Just don't let any of the desiccant touch the wood, but sealing the guitar and the open container of damp rid in a bag for a day or two should dry it right out.

Could take months to air dry properly. Doing it too fast will compromise the structural integrity of the wood.

Interesting, I'll look into that. Could doing that compromise the structure of the wood like >>949875 said? I don't want to have to wait months if I don't need to, but I'd rather have wait than have something that will break in the future

>>949855
It's like 60F and 70% humidity where I live.
