Oil-based stains drying slow used to bug me, but a client's praise for the color depth won me over.

Color depth is nice, but that drying time kills my schedule. Prefer faster options these days.

I mean, I switched to a fast-dry acrylic for my kitchen cabinets and it was a solid balance. The color stayed pretty deep, and it dried enough for a second coat in like 45 minutes. Saved my weekend project for sure.

Yeah, that fast-dry trade-off is real (been there). What kind of project are you working on where the schedule's that tight? I used a quick enamel once and it definitely saved time, but I had to be really picky about the brand to avoid a plasticky look.
