Rusticated waxing. How much is too much?
Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2006 6:04 pm
I have a huge watering pot that I rusticated with a hole cutter as suggested in one of the threads. It turned out nice but now I need to finish it. I'm betting it can soak up alot of wax if I tried.
So far what I did was heat the stummel with my heatgun and grind carnuba wax on it and let it melt in. I tried to keep it minimal. I then used a nylon polishing brush on my drill press to shine it.
It doesn't seem to shine quite as nice as some others I have seen. Do I need to really lay it on thick? Will too much destroy the pleasurable smoking experience?
