great I was looking for an application vid, and the tip to wet the wood is good. I would suspect it has to do with a wood working trick where you wet the wood and then do a final sand because it pops the wood and cleans the pores that were clogged on a microscopic level from the sand paper or in this case the stainless brush
Yeah as mentioned i have never wet the wood before applying and it always turns out nice and lasts a long time. It does generally require 2 coats though as the first coat soaks in then the second coat tends to stain. I also notice that when people wet first the lime sulphur tends to run too much where as putting it on dry it soaks in rather then running. But I do understand that's just me who does that and 99% of other people do wet first.
@@BonsaiEn thank you for your response! My mistake you did not wet the wood and I can understand why, Good insights on the technique. I have a few pieces that have to be treated this year, might experiment. This is from my limited wood working experience as a professional metal fabricator, the same technique is used with mineral spirits or even rubbing alcohol for a faster evaporation.
Aussie Dave here Josh, what a wonderful video, please keep them coming 🙏 😀
Always a pleasure watching your videos amazing work and the shots at the end were 😮
You should also be wearing a respirator, especially inside , with scraping it with previous lime sulphur on it
Nice follow up to the last vid which was how to carve a Shari. Thanks for the really well thought out vid and the great info
