Yesterday I received my can of "Hi-Gloss Wood Finish" from pen state and immediately ran to my shop for some quick test (picture attached).
First Reaction: I am 90% sure this is the same product as the Gasket-Lacquer I use for arrow making. Which, BTW originated as a finish for #2 school pencils.
First Test: I turned two quick tube and then sanded them with only 150 then 220 paper and then dipped away. Shaking them vigorously (like you would a mercury thermometer) to get every last drop of excess off.
First Comment: Even in Dry Warm So California a 20 minute advertised dry time is a joke. After two hour they where completely dry. They looked good but I decided to do a second dip and then go to bed.
The next day. Very impressed, especially for the bottle stoppers. Some very minor build up on the end on one of them, guess I did not shake it hard enough.
FINAL OPINION:
I could not imagine using this on my hi-end pens which I easily spend 30 minutes polishing. But for my simple slim-line and other $20 something pens this will be a perfect solution.
