Val oil ?'s agian

[ProfessorM]

Like Steve said I use it 60/40 with Terp. 3 hours for AYC and 6 for Maple. I let it dry for a few weeks which is excessive but I have lots of plugs at different stages so it doesn't matter. I have it in a 3 gallon bucket with a screw lid. I like it because I can submerge 20 or 30 plugs at a time. I use a disc of metal slightly smaller than the container to push all the plugs under the fluid. Just make sure you wipe the plugs off after you take them out of the fluid or it will dry to a nice gloss finish which is not a good thing, learned that the hard way.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Lot's of great advice as always. Amazing how on one step there is so much variation.

Slip...at least i can search that one...4 letters.

Sand the gloss finish. Should give the primer something to grab onto. Don't know for sure about the Val oil, but with other stuff this is the case.
