For future reference, eliminate most "finish" issues by a simple Acetone wipedown on every set of scales... I saw where Gerritt mentioned it earlier too...
I gave up second guessing wood a long time ago and just wipe down every set...
The blade is looking sweet

be careful with acetone on wood.
You might have a nasty surprise with purple heart.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Does denatured alcohol accomplish the same thing as acetone?
And, what happens with acetone and purpleheart?

I am curious now but that is what SRP is really all about we find out a ton of info here...

Last coat. It built up nicely. I will wait until tomorrow night to mess with them [yeah right] again. They should come up great with a buff of scratch-x. Then seal the back and pin! So close I can taste it.

I have always learned and then later been told that MEK is the best solvent for wood finishing. It initiates cross linking of unsaturated polyester resins according to wikipedia. YMMV Originally Posted by medicevans

Yeah, I'm going to have to build a better photo booth, but I'm hoping for some nice pictures.
Also, hovercraft pictures are not a thread hijack. I'm always up for hovercraft pics!!
