Has anyone here tried using wipe-on poly for a pen finish. Got pros and cons?
Why I am asking is that I just finished turning six decorative lamps and I used wipe on poly on them instead of setting up my sprayer for my usual laquer finish.
The finish came out better than my expectations. Sure it took four coats and two days but it only takes seconds to wipe it on completely streak free and with no runs. I was thinking the pen blanks could all be slid on to a thin dowel and set aside between appying coats.
I will soon be back at making a bunch of pens so I was just wondering if anyone is doing this. I havn't seen this question come up before for pens.
