dipping finish

[jahlg]

Has anoyone ever tried the Hi Gloss dipping solution that PSI sells?? I was curious about it, but dont want to waste the 15$ a can if it doesnt work. And are there any alternatives i may be able to get locally??

Thanks again!!!

No, but I dip using Deft Gloss Lacquer.

I have used it for several years. I like very much, but if you check it and Deft you will find they both have the same ingredients.Which ever you use I recomend thinning by one third.

I have had very good luck with using the dip method, but substituting Enduro for the Deft. For me, the Enduro provides a harder finish that's less susceptible to dings from use and is just as glossy, if not more so.

I've never had to thin the Enduro when dipping with it, but I wick off any accumulated liquid from the bottom of the blank with a paper towel as it is drying. I think the Enduro tends to cure faster than Deft, but I'm not sure about that. I only dipped with Deft a couple of times.
