at a cheaper price!!! i'm in!!!!! where do i sign up?
today i'm trying minwax poly with a warm gloss AND mineral spirits, a 3 minwax to 1 spirits. my friend said to use it and a lint free cloth-like and i just happen to have it. he told me that a wipe on poly is expensive and to mix poly with spirits(3:1) will do the same thing that wipe on does, at a cheaper price!!!
i first cooper wool the stock and then i cheese clothed it. then i wiped the stock off with lint free cloth. so i used a skippy peanut jar, 3 oz of poly and 1oz of mineral spirits. then GENTLY shake the jar. i have a a small tupperware bowl that i could splash some it. then a folded lint free cloth is gently put in the 3:1. i put the mixture on the stock the same way the wood grain goes. when i was done, the stock is hung up to dry.
the stock looks good wet, i'll have to see it dry, which will be tommorow. i'll probably do 3 coat of 3:1 and then i will do either rottenstone and 3:1 oil or i will just johnsons paste wax it. i'll have to see.
and i forgot my phone/camera upstairs and i don't wanna get it!!!! lol!!!!
