That's a good idea, I may grab some scrap plexiglass or acrylic from work to do that as a test. Maybe put one above the stock, another on the sink, and another in the garage to compare dry times in/out of the direct dry air. Might be a cool experiment!If you really want to know how the finish is doing, cut some strips of clear, hard packaging material with tin snips and tape them to the wall. Put a smear of oil on one and mark time/date with a Sharpie every time you put on a coat. Check the plastic coupon, not the stock, for dryness.
Keep doing what you're doing, maybe one or two more full-strength coats, put on just like your last one with a few dots of oil and rub it in hot and heavy with clean, bare hands, then buff off with a soft cloth. If your shoulders and hands aren't hurting after applying a coat, you didn't rub it hard enough!
Lookin real goodUpdate photos after another coat of thinned T&T, and a fourth coat vigorously rubbed with a few more dots of oil.
