sealing with BIN ?

[thefishingfreak]

thanks,
yep i was talking about the white stuff.
my paints work very well with it.
figgured it was worth asking. i been using two part epoxy, but a gallon can is alot more convient to dunk plugs in than mixing up a little at a time and trying to pour it in every hole which wastes alot when your only doing a plug at a time.

anything in gallon form i could use?
i like the idea of just opening the can and dunking.
having the sealer allways at the ready.

Some guys use minwax wood hardner, you can buy it pretty much anywhere in gallon size. Maybe someone who has used it can chime in.

I use the standard linseed/mineral spirits. bought an empty paint can from homies, dumped in the proper mix, and my last mix is still in there, three months, and plenty more dipping to be done. Of course it takes forever to dry.
Minwax apparently dries overnight.

I was thinking that DuPont 222s or 480s might make a decent wood sealer. The 222s is an automotive midcoat (Real thin clear lacquer) designed to make paint stick. 480s is a jambing clear. again lacquer. If you're painting at the shop should be no problem.

i dont like the minwax stuff. use something else.

Mike, i use the bin shellac based spray primer 24 hrs after i seal, by dipping in a urethane based sealer. i like it as it adheres really well to the hard urethane sealer. Then, use acrylics about 1/2 hr after the bin following your "don't wait too long" painting adherence advice.

DON'T USE BIN.

Its a pigmented shellac.Its a sealer just not a penetrating one.Even dewaxed shellac like Zinnser's Seal Coat doesn't penetrate all that well.Any shellac based primer/sealer has absolutely no value when it comes to painting plugs.None.
Shellac based products have no use in exterior applications.

Wanna seal wood?If your looking to be able to sand within the hour use Zinnser CoverStain(tint to base color)cut 25% with Hi-Flash naptha.If you're really looking for awesome penetration as you might want with tight grain wood cut it with Penetrol.Unlike linseed oil you'll be able to sand it within your lifetime,a few hours in ideal conditions works.

ah-ah!! might help if i read the whole lable says right down the bottom "not for wet surfaces, or water immersion".
thanks for the help guys !
time to start making plugs that will last in the brine, and not just look pretty

i like the 1 hour idea !!
i'm very impatient

After trying many things and doing research, my sealer of choice is TUNG OIL. It is said to be the best penetrating oil for all types of grains of wood and dries faster than boiled linseed oil ! I never had problems with it. Use it straight out of the can by dunking and soaking for a minute. Then let it hang for 5 or 10 minutes to penetrate the wood. Wipe off the excess and let dry over night. Lightly buff with fine steel wool then prime.
