- In this video you'll learn everything you need to know about Clean Armor.
This is a new finish to the woodworking industry, but has been around in the aerospace industry for a while. We have been on a quest to find the best finish for the products we sell to our customers. Some of the important factors for us when adopting a finish: how easy can it be applied, how durable is it, and does it make the product pop.
UV curing polymers are the future of wood finishes. Why?
Because they are way more durable than conventional wood finishes, cure times are incomparably faster, and they are completely safe to use.
If you enjoyed this deep dive and want to see more like it. please leave a comment telling us that. if this video does well, we will make it a point to meet with other owners/inventors and bring you information right from the horses mouth.

385 nm is a quite dangerous wavelength. I hope Clean Armor advises people to wear protective clothing, eye protection, and even sunscreen when using these lights. The potential increase to skin cancer rate from that wavelength of UV light is so extreme that even a single use of a tanning bed in a lifetime increases risks of skin cancer *significantly*.
I'm a dentist and all our resins used on human teeth are cured with blue visible light (never UV light). It is very safe. The dental field abandoned all UV cured products over 30 years ago. The visible spectrum lights we use to cure resins can cure to 4 mm in less than a minute. I believe CleanArmor could be reformulated using a safer non-UV method for curing.
Not true, I’ve been running 360nm thru 460nm, in my home for years on my fish tanks. We’ve only had 3 types and 4 occurrences of blastomas…
Great video!
Thank you for the opportunity to share our technology.
Thanks for putting this out, been looking for a new finish and this checks a lot of boxes for me. Can’t wait to try this out 💯
Stay tuned for the video where we test it
Always improving and adding value for customers. That’s awesome. So cool the info you got form the creator as well
🔥🔥🔥
I'm sold!!!!!
You about have to sell yourself to afford a gallon of this and their uv light.
@@Matt34677 you don't need their light as shlong as you have access to the sun.
And one year later, Stumpy Nubs joins the crowd.
love the stumpster. maybe he wanted to test it a bunch cuz he had two overhead UV lamps in his shop for a while, way before the video obviously. I'm pumped that this can be used outside. thats YOOOJ
Wow I want to try that stuff
This is exactly what I’m looking for. I just tried another product and was very disappointed.
What other Products were used on the two blocks to finish them? (Matt and High Gloss: Was the only difference in finish, in the Application technique/tools?)
Was there a Top Coat applied to the 710 Sealer for New Wood? Like the 757 Table Top Finish? or 705 Exterior Clear Coat?
At $500/gallon, did you just use the Sealer only, or did using a second product not get into the video somehow?
Now a days I like to only use 757 topcoat.
Wow !! I want to see that in person. You may have to do another demo for the club! Happy Thanksgiving to you guys and your families. (Mark)
Happy thanks giving brother! We would be happy to do another demo. Just let us know when you need us
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC Sounds great. We'll talk later. Thanks
quick question.. lets say you make a counter top and use this as a finish.. what happens if you set a hot pan on the wood? will it burn like in the past?
Hey Tony, Do you really need the sanding sealer or can you just apply extra product. Im looking at the 700 in satin to finish off the mitersaw station.. You mentioned you are pretty much only using the 757 table top finish for everything. What are the pros and cons over using just the 700?
Pro is that you don’t need to buy two things. Con is that it will take more coats to fill the grain
Just found your video. How does it hold up over time? Does it yellow?
Any idea how much it costs in materials to finish both those table tops (in his demonstration) minus the UV lighting system? Went onto Clean Armor's web site, but couldn't find pricing information.
So we haven’t used it in a real world scenario yet. But accord to Matt, you get 1,600 square feet out of a gallon at 1 mil.
So to be conservative, let’s half that.
1 gallon costs about $500.
So $1.6 per square foot.
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC ouch. pricey, but when you look at the per sq foot cost it might even come in cheaper than Rubio Monocoat which is my go to finish at the moment. So im guessing a qt of this stuff will set you back about a buck fiddy? What products exactly did he use on these boards? sealer and finish?
Happy Thanksgiving guys
You too brother!
Nice. And expensive.
Can I use this on my vehicle headlights after polishing? I'm looking for UV protection so they don't deteriorate and get hazy too quickly.
Use a 50/50 Spar Varnish and Loneral Spirits mix. Seal it up good and keep it indoors it will last about 2 years. Use a foam brush to apply and tape everything off.
@@austinroberson8 you meant "mineral spirits", right? Thanks for the info.😆
My first test of the Wood 705 resulted in slow curing with the CUVO H24 handheld. Hours, from a distance of about 2.5 feet. Is this normal? Could slow curing be because I did not shake the bottle well enough before applying? It eventually cures and no longer feels tacky, but this initial test is taking much more than the expected two minutes. Tips, anyone?
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to your and yours! I heard the inventor say the finish is exterior safe. about how long can we expect it to last on say an Adirondack chair thats exposed to direct sunlight and weather on deck year long?
He said about 20 years when I asked him the same question
Happy thanks giving brother!
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC Holy Crap! If that's even 1/4 true that would last twice as long as any other product I know of. You are lucky if you get two seasons on a finish outdoors. 20 years????? man, Once I get my new shop built Ill have to build some chairs and get a hold of some of this juice and give it a try
Definitely stay tuned. We are going to give it some solid testing 🔥🪵
@@pctatc6620 years? Crackah please. UV obliterates everything. Like you said, 5 years of top notch condition in full sun would blow me away. I'll believe it when I see it
Can this stand up as a finish for mahogany window sills that are exposed to a lot of sun light?
Yep
1. Dumb question, but is this UV protected if I use it on exotic, colorful wood, will it preserve the color of the wood against sunlight?
2. Is it a wipe on finish for an example fine art wooden sculptures.?
When you get the exterior grade version, it will do a great job at preserving the colors. Has strong UV blockers.
For this application: Clean armor is best applied heavy with a brush then wiped off after the wood absorbs as much as possible.
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC so you it could be applied with a brush to 3-D wood sculptures?
Have you tried the finish over stain?
Not yet. But we will. You can actually add alcohol based coloring to clean armor, or something like that. I’m going ti verify with them before I make the next video
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC What are the specs for the UV light? BTW you guys are killing it!
What happens as the wood expands and contracts? What happens when you needs to make a small repair?
It’s made to expand and contract with the wood. They use it in the aerospace industry.
Gotta do small repairs when the sun isn’t a problem. If it’s inside it’s usually not a problem. Simple as scratch, apply, cure
Can this product go over a painted surface?
Maybe, but most likely not
Where can I buy the UV hand held light?
Cuvo lighting
Thank you for replying so quickly and being helpful. I really appreciate it.
Another question I’m assuming it could be applied to metals like steel etc…? Also, I was wondering if there’s any strong VOCs and off gassing?
Do freezing temperatures affect it once it's cured?
I don’t think so but don’t ask a Florida man
where can I buy in New zealand?
Pop the plastic safety cap off the acetone with a screwdriver and it’ll save you a lot of trouble
Thanks for the tip!!
How the heck do I purchase clean armor?
I’d call them. They don’t have many distributors yet
Don't have to sand in between cord
Perfect saying pro
what's the shelf life of the product??
In my experience, over a year if you shake them. My shop stays around 75-80 degrees. Gloss lasts longer than matte
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC that's a bummer if your just doing a random finishing piece once a year or so. waste of money and product unless it's your job or something. thanks
I could not find a price. Left a message on the website, but no one has responded.
I’m sure they will get back to you.
I looked up the ingredients in Rubio Monocoat. It's mostly linseed oil with several types of waxes. THIS Armor crap was very difficult to find info. I found some. This is just a type of polyurathane. I am trying to get away from poly finishes. I make my own using tung oil and melt in beeswax for about $90 per gallon. This Clean Armor, just like Rubio Monocoat, is about $500 - $600 a gallon. Ripoff.
your goals clearly differ from those interested in this product. Tung oil's several week cure time may work for you, but it doesn't for many others. Just because you're incapable of conceiving how a finish CURING in mere minutes is $$$, doesn't mean others are.
@@ritzypatrick8577 That's crap, tung oil beeswax finish will cure in a few hours if applied with a heat gun. I've done it. And tung oil is not toxic like that UV polyurathane poison.
@@samadrid6321 you are absolutely not curing tung oil in a few hours. Dry is not cured. I do accept that you think it's cured, however.
I think it's time for an ashtray test....
Cmon by
This guy just discovered uv resin, just buy a resin bottle designed for 3d printing. Pretty sure it's the same stuff
Might cure the same, but most definitely will have different properties.
Hey, as a matter of fact I just did a test with a uv resin I had laying around. Didn't have the strong uv lamp so I used my handheld lamp. Was dry in a matter of minutes ( must be quicker during summer). Finish is ok, on par with osmo polyx I'd say. I put a coat of graphene wax for extra shine 👌
@bmallory hey did 3d resin work well on wood?
Was curious about it being used on the cutting board as he mentioned NOT having FDA approval for food grade use?
Dentists have been using this for a long time. It’s the bonding resin that gets light cured in a thin coat before composite is used.
How do you order it. Their website is a maze of dead ends.
Good question.
$500.00 a gallon . Not in my budget . No thanks
$556 😂 they are proud of that shit
