I found a product PC Petrifier from PCEpoxy. It is a waterborn sealer, with usage instructions similar to the MinWax wood hardener. I have just started using it and like the idea of a waterborn product that doesn't have any organic vapors. The Minwax needs to be used outdoors and this is the wrong time of year for that. Also my wife gets upset if I use anything that smells of solvent. So much for rattle cans. The good side of that is that I got an Anthem for Fishmas and a compressor with a Fishmas gift certificate. Since I found this stuff around Fishmas I haven't been able to test the plugs to see if they stand up. I do know that when applied to the latex based wood filler I use to patch the belly weight holes, the filler becomes very hard, harder that the surrounding wood. Any one else heard of or tried using this product? What has your experience been?

Fred,haven't used it but it sounds good,and safer.I've been trying a new water based urethane called miilenium as clear coat over createx and the finish comes out real nice. Might even work as a sealer but i like the idea of a oil based sealer. I figure the water base should be very compatiable with the acrylics,it dries in 2-3 hours and you can put 3 coats on in 24 hrs without scuffing, non toxic and no odor.The test wil be how it holds up. Chris Craft uses it on their mahogony and rattle trap dips their lures with it. However i've seen the finish on rattltletraps peel. Maybe cause their plastic:huh:
Will let you know how it goes:)

PC Petrifier at www.pcepoxy.com Found it in pint containers at ACE hardware. It is thin enough to dip with. It dries overnight. They recomend 2 coats. Canalman, thanks for the primer recipe.
