Shaft sealant

<< < (3/3)

brokennock:
I like tru-oil for hardwood shafts. For soft woods like my current fave', sitka spruce, I soak them in boiled linseed oil. I took a bunch of 33" long .5" dia. PVC tubes capped one end added a screw cap to the other, drop the raw shaft in, and fill with oil. I learned to wipe up any overflow right away the hard way. Once the threads are clean I cap the tube and let soak for at least 4 days turning the tube upside down every 24 hours. Let 'em dry a couple weeks (depending on humidity) before tryin to glue anything to 'em.

D. Tiller:
How about for using in a dip tube?

mullet:
For an armor finish I'd use a Massey finish,2-Ton epoxy thinned with acetone.

Pat B:
I used a dip tube for the water based poly.  Everything else I apply by hand.  Pat
