Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane Arrow Dipping
« on: February 16, 2014, 01:34:00 PM »
The last batch of woodies I made were dipped in Minwax Helmsman urethane.  Love the finish but forgot how much I thinned the Helmsman prior to dipping. What has worked best for you?

i have used helsmans urathane before but not for dipping. i think 2 parts urathane to one part thinner would be enough.

Never used it, but I just read the other day that 40% worked good.
