I use William Young's CA/BLO technique. You put two or three drops each of CA and BLO on a paper towel and rub it back and forth under the spinning blank. It will go dull, then come back glossy again. At that point it is dry and can take another coat. It takes about fifteen or twenty seconds per coat. You don't have to wait between coats, it never forms ridges, it doesn't have to be sanded, and will build to a high gloss. About as foolproof as you can get.
