Dont think I'll put another one together. A bunch of coats Birchwood casey sealer and about a dozen coats of clear coat. wanna sell it. the pins came out real good and ya cant even feel the pins like glass. It will stik a pig for sure! LOL spent alot of time finishing the metal,,dont care what anyone says Blanks are almost as much work as startin from scratch at times...Blanks have lots of boo boo's and fixin them boo boo's can be a headache!
