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.
