territorialmillworks Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Tried a lot of different finishes including homemade brews. Generally too sticky, too thick or too slow drying. I've added Japan Drier and solvents trying to get it right. Then I tried Minwax Wipe-On Polyureathane. Flowed easy, didn't puddle and dried smooth in the advertised time of 1.5 hrs at 60 deg and high humitity (raining outside !) My linseed oir/japan drier/paint thinner mix is still tacky two days later..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Thanks for the post. Are you applying this to hot steel? I am assuming so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaming S Forge Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've been using that on wood and never gave it a thought to try it on metal. I'll have to give it a try. I assume you would put it on cool metal based on the drying time you mentioned. That's about the right time for it to dry on wood also.

Paul B Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) I've been using that on wood and never gave it a thought to try it on metal. We used to use minwax poly on most everything wood. We now use a laquer called magna max. This is a great product. We only use poly on wet areas now, such as the front edge of oak countertops. edit: left out a word Edited December 19, 2008 by Paul B left out a word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
