i like the look, the ease of application, and the super fast cure time of permalyn.  but i also know it's basically plastic and surely not "pc", "hc" and "lmnop".  but it sure do seal wood to the point of beading up water too easily.  i did wick in water thin cya into any thin wood areas and mortises for good luck.  i have an in-the-white smoothie on order with tip and will use his finish on that one instead, just to see the difference (it's a bucks county walnut stock, too).  

anyhoo  :rotf  :roll eyes  :shock:

Dang!!! If she shoots as good as she looks, and I'm sure she will. The deer will not have a chance.
