Bought a big dipper,filled it with waterbase poly.How many dips do you do to seal your woodies?I put four coats when applying the wipe-on,the dipping seems to put on a heavier coat.
I use Helmsman Spar Urethane, but I dip 3 times, crest and dip 3 more.
D.P.
Are you guys steel wooling between coats?
May I ask why so many coats? When I did wipe on poly 3coats seemed to me more than enough. I used 0000 steel wool between the first and second coat.Third coat went over the second coat, then wax.
I usually use Bohning lacquer -- two dips. Have used water based polycrylic as well. It's even thicker. Only two coats of it as well. Steel wool lightly between coats and after the second coat.
Yep that's what I do-2 dips.
2 or 3 if it is thin...
I use Minwax Poly-U thinned with Mineral spirits. Usually two dips is plenty for my woodies.
dip once...steel wool...dip again...crest...dip again...fletch.
3 dips with the minwax poly
I use bohning and use 2 coats and water stain first.I steel wool between first to coats.I dip and let drip with my rack made by Legends bows, works great.
take a damp rag and wipe your shafts...let them dry than steel wool...will make much less work later!
I use profin and usually go with 4 or 5 coats. no need to thin or mess around its ready to go in the can. It does target target burn though.
