Finish Question
« on: June 23, 2008, 12:41:57 AM »
I picked up some permalyn  sealer and finish from Track just to try them out.  By following the instructions my test wood came out super glossy.  Like a mirror!  Also hard as a rock, imervious to water. Were finishes like this seen or even common in the 18th century?
