Because I've done it a couple of times, and it is so unbelievably tedious. All that sanding, and sanding. . .and if your urethane coat bubbles (thankfully I haven't had this problem), you're back to square one. Instead of a varnish like stain, have you considered wax instead? I've used it with a lot of success, and you don't have the issues of bubbling you mention. it's a bit tedious as you have to buff on several layeers and work it in, but it is much more authentic IMO than using varnish... Never have tried, but that does sound intriguing. I don't currently have anything in the pipeline, but I'll definitely have to give that a try. Varnish/stain always worries me! It's so easy to mess up in just a couple of strokes, or get it too dark. Then with the urethane you have to turn off anything that might create an air current and cause bubbles, and go very slowly. With the poly, the bubbles in the finish are a direct result of the conditions surrounding the piece you are finishing. Does the item being finished sit near a vent of some sort, or a breeze coming by from a window? this is usually what causes the bubbles in the finish. Couple different things you can do. Try a different applicator if using poly from a can. One of those sheepskin type applicators help to provide a more even coat than a brush. Also, consider using spray poly. Depending in the size of the piece you're using it on, it can be a dream to work with! The coats go on much thinner and more uniform thus providing less chance of the bubbling. You may have to coat it more than once depending on (again) the kind of piece your using it on. Some woods are more porous than others and soak up the finish. The age of the wood plays a part in it as well. Worst case if your still experiencing bubbles in the finish, lightly sanding them off will get rid of them! just my $.02 worth!

Welcome to Guitar Center and Musician's Friend for every birthday and Christmas from now until the end of time! Yep, GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) never goes away. There's no such thing as, "Finally...my setup is complete!" Edit: If you're suffering from that syndrome, do you say "I have GAS"? ha ha ha... Awesome News GG! Congrats Kerry and have FUN! The drumline here @ our High School has won many awards for their great work. I can hear them practice from the HS when i'm outside, or the windows are open. LOVE percussion!!! although I know Kerry hasn't gotten into drumline, it's an avenue he can explore down the road.

  19. QUOTE (Mara @ May 30 2009, 11:41 PM) Dear Gross Dude at Gas Station, Just because I talked to you at the gas pump island does not mean I am interested in going out with you. And when I told you that I am married, "no one has to know" is the wrong response. FYI, the answer would still be "no" even if I wasn't married, because you are clearly a douche-tastic fuckstain. Vomitingly, Mara fuckstain... that made me laugh.
