What's going on with the dauber @5:11? Thanks for the interesting videos.

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

It’s a sponge dauber you can get at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. They work great!

[@MNHOMEdotPro]

@@VoeltnerWoodworking For what? What are you doing with it? Some sort of a sealer? And if so, what kind in particular? 🙏

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Some of the white paint bled over so I am just touching up the black around the recessed text. It's the same paint that is on the sign.

[@acerjuglans383]

So.....what does HDU stand for????

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

High density urethane

[@MrShamrock56]

Where did you get that little sponge you used?,beautiful sign btw

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

It’s a painting sponge. You can get them at most craft stores. I put a link in the description for similar ones on Amazon. Thanks so much!

[@3ddiy]

Thanks for introducing me to HDU I’ll definitely check it out. Do they sell them in smaller sizes other then full sheets?

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Thanks! I don’t think so. There are sample pieces you can get but they’re usually 12” square. I’ve not found a supplier that does 24” pieces, just full sheets. Let me know if you do find one.

[@DavesCave]

Watching it now, great content you have. Might have to subscribe

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Thank you so much! Hope it helps.

[@onlyychevys]

Have you tried pvc sheets as compared to the HDU foam? PVC machines great and is cheaper, but I have never used hdu foam.

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

I haven’t used PVC sheets yet. I enjoy the way the HDU machines and how durable it is for the elements. Will have to give PVC a try. Thanks!

[@daltrywoodworks8811]

Where might one acquire a sheet of HDU?

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

There are a few suppliers online. You'll probably have to call them to get pricing for most of them. Precision Board, Grimco, Signfoam.com are a few.

[@JohnGrubb1]

Killer sign. Thanks for waking us through there process.

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@thesplinteredfinger]

What finishing material did you use with the painting sponge? Nice video!

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Thank you. I generally use a mix of either acrylic paints (indoor signs) or exterior paints for commercial signs. On this one it was acrylic and I use a paint dobber that I picked up from an art supply store. Thanks so much for watching! I'm planning on doing a more in depth video on HDU and sign making in the future. I'll be sure to include this information. Cheers!

[@thesplinteredfinger]

@@VoeltnerWoodworking Was it a varnish or a polyurethane that you used with the sponge?

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

It was a craft acrylic paint like this:

It works great for indoor type projects.
