Do it yourself Stock making thread

Hey Josh you got a good handle on it...
How??

Neat piece!
I’ve put the stock in the rotisserie for the epoxy finish.

I really admire unusual things and it doesn't get much more unusual than this. That's just Cool or Kool, however you spell it.

Checking out your stock cradle too.

It’s a poor man’s clear coat. The “bar top” slow cure epoxy takes a day and a half to solidify. The rotisserie prevents runs in the thick finish.

Have you ever tried Spray Max 2k Clear?

Have you ever tried Spray Max 2k Clear?

All my attempts at spraying have failed miserably.

I used a can on this stock I got to try some things on... I sprayed this outside hanging from a tree branch and did a pretty quick wet block sand with 1500 wet/dry. If I hit it with the DA polisher and some compound I bet it would shine.

I ask because I'm curious how well it holds up to the type of use/abuse a stock gets. I've got 6 coats on there, but it's pretty thin.

One coat of this epoxy is about 4-6 mils thick. Maybe thicker. It’s pretty tough stuff, tho I haven’t really tried to abuse it.

 

[LVLAaron]

My only reference to mils is trash bags from Home Depot, but I'd say epoxy wins this battle.

Lol! Classic! Post results please!

Maybe someone should shine up a stick of wood, finish it, allow it to cure and take a 3' stick of rebar to it.

That ought to be interesting.

I like beating on things.

6 coats is good for 1 session, I'd sand and clear it a few more times.
Durability will never be as good as a 2k urethane automotive clear.
