Waterlox for sealer
I tried Waterlox on some plugs, works great at sealing, did the pail test for up to 7 days with only .1oz weight gain, but months later can't get rid of the SMELL in the wood, anyone else seen this too?
Smells like paint thinner if you smell the belly hole etc. yick.

Krispy what's the stuff smell like out of the can? Like Paint thinner?
The worst part is that in all the testing I did with the stuff back in August it worked great! Never noticed the smell....Then I made a small batch of stubbies to play with it and they're still sitting in the box waitin to be thrown out...Smells like chit when you open up a bag 
The one's I did the testing with don't smell after being in the water though.... |

Salty,
I install and finish floors for a living and am the Waterlox dealer for Nantucket. The smell is very hard to get rid of but I believe that, if left to dry properly, diminshes tremendously. We have to deliver homes here and the smell cooperates with proper ventilation. It is the best wood sealant I have ever worked with but it certainly is very potent material. Waterlox has come out with a low V.O.C. (Mass compliant) mix for this year which will have significant reduced odor.

Interesting! Any idea if it's available yet? Something I'd like to try. In testing the stuff worked very well, but it's the darn smell that makes it useless.

Before you toss'em try puttin them in oven @ 200 degrees for an hour or more. I have used this technique to dry out all kinds of things. Once I used it to dry out a cellphone....don't ask. |

Salty,
I would say for an off the shelf, quick finish coat it will probably haunt you. Air (clean air as in good airflow in the drying room/box) is key.
Also, Possibly coating them with a spray shellac after will cover up the Waterlox and eliminate the odor.
I haven't come across a better waterproof sealant for furniture, ever. NO water stains, EVER !
I'll get you some sample packs of the new stuff. I haven't got it yet but will soon....

hehe.. I dried out a cell phone once in an oven.. a microwave oven that is... i took the battery off then placed it in the oven set it for 2 min's and in 2 seconds the bloody thing powered up and before it reached 5 white smoke was pouring out from the mic, speaker, and keypad. lol
reading your post brought back 1 of the many funny moments i've experienced.. |

thanks BW, I sent them a email too, maybe I can get from them to try. If you can get some quick I'll send ya a few plugs as thanks
Don't think you'd want to heat bake wood lures, that may cause problems with the wood drying more than the 8-10% it is right now...could makem crack.... |

I should mention too that the smell I've found is out of the holes from the interior of the plugs, not from the outside which is painted and clear coated....

Excellent ! If you spoke with Dad Waterlox you spoke to the MAN.
Mr. Waterlox. You are know styling.
I am chuckling to myself you are onto that stuff. It is good chit man.
Just a little stinky if it doesn't get enough air during the cure.
I will most certainly invest in some bugger plugs this winter !
