Question about sealing

[Rock-Climber]

Agreed, Excellent Advice

Agreed, excellent advice. Emrathich says the same on his PingSunday web site. My brother and I use Tung Oil, which can be spread very thin (he's used it for woodworking). The last blade I did I also added a narrow second layer around the outside edge. This blade's outside edge had been damaged, and I wanted to prevent further splintering.

If You find it "badly unflat" retire it...

it is only a piece of plywood really, there are simple techniques to straighten a bent piece of plywood, using warm water on one side.

I just use Joola varnish since last time I tried the wipe on poly it didn't work for me too well, i.e. after one layer splinters still happen.

Haha, you go ahead and waste your with that.
No it’s not that easy, and it’s actually layers of plywood. If you manage to get it straight it won’t stay that way for long..

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Plywood is a material manufactured from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another.

It would be nice if you would engage your brain when replying.
If the blade would not stay straight after the treatment, why indeed bother.
Your comment is typical of someone who did not actually use the method but just has to be contradictory.
Nothing new here.

I had 3 of those blades and they were all bent. I managed to straighten all of them
I still got one of them ..........and it is still straight after about 4 years 😁

I worked on wooden boats for 30 years I made my own ribs so I know. That blade is made of substandard wood that wasn’t dried properly (done that too). Go ahead and beat your dead horse…
