I’m looking for a little more detail on what they are capable of. I have turned this 14” willow salad bowl for my wife.
She asked me last night if it would be possible to go ahead with the walnut oil on the inside as planned but use dye on the outside?
The blank was only slightly punky so I tried some PC Petrifier to help smooth the cuts as I began finish turning but quit because I felt a honed gouge and light cut produced an equal surface. So my questions are if I use the hardener now will it sand smoother AND prevent oil from wicking to the outside as well as prevent dye from migrating to the inside? Also how will the oil and dye each perform over a hardener application that has only been sanded? Wall thickness is 1/2”.
