Here are some plugs I am finally getting around to finishing. I turned these in the spring........I'll post my progress.
Drying after soaking in Linseed oil......

Looking good! Bend up some coathanger wire to use inplace of through wire while handleing plugs. It saves on the through wire!! I use mine so much I have to burn the paint build up off!!

Thanks for the tip.......When I paint I will not be using the through wire. I already have my paint box set up with coat hangers.

nice blanks , can't wait to see um finished. :claps:

mugz you should send me some so I can test them for you

Ya Ya thats it

Enjoy painting those. Posts some pics when there done.

I have been experimenting with some methods and learning from my mistakes.
Experimented with the Envirotex last night. Let it spin for an hour and a half and found that wasn't enough time. Good thing it was only an experimental blank.......I need a warmer spot to allow for curing too. Cool and damp in the garage.
Stupid question........Is Turpentine the same as Mineral Spirits? I want to use it to cut my boiled linseed oil. I don't to go mixing chemicals in my garage I'm not sure of and end up making a bomb or an inferno.
