Tested craft coat finish

[Woody]

This stuff was posted last week and the description intrigued me so I ordered a bottle I am well pleased with the finish I used it as a friction polish just a small drop on the cloth per application so you dont have to wait for an hour between coats just 30 to 45 sec I applied about 6 coats in a very short time and then one coat off the lathe and as it promises to be chemicals and impact resistant then it cant be bad Craft Coat / 6oz - Water Based Exotic Wood Finish - Craft Coat - Finishing Products - Shop

Looks good and would be interested on how the finish takes with all of the handling.

how do you think it will do on a bowl

Not sure I will try a small one first opportunity I dont think it will work as a friction polish on bowls but compared to oil it only takes an hour to dry instead of 24 hours My original intention was to try it on bowls

Certainly looks like it can hold its own among finishes on our pens Woody .. A very nice looking pen indeed ..

Looks good Woody and I too would like to see how it holds up to handling etc

I need some more friction polish so it might be worth trying.
Thanks for the information

Woody when stockists and champions of the finish with this material such as Ed Brown from Exotic in the USA he has a video as to how to etc champion this product reassuring to know its been around a while and works. Bit like Noah building the Ark lots of questions proof in the using.
