I have run into this same problem with the product in the past, and almost every time I have, it's been because of high humidity in the garage. Two things have helped:

  1. Sanding with a 320-400 grit paper between the coats. Not only does itThis helps knock down the bumps, it helps pull any any excess moisture off the top.

  2. Using a fan during the drying process. I use a heavy duty fan, and it seems to speed up the drying time. Once it's aired out a little, I put it in the basement and it's completely dry within a day.

*Something else you could consider is putting one coat of oil-based polyurethane or varnish over the top of it. That should make sure that as it dries, all moisture dries inside the clear coat. I have done this with other oil-based products, but not this one. Wood Magazine recommends trying this in their article reviewing the product.
