Reply to Large puzzleI have never seen anyone recommend using any type of sealer.I did not use it either and did not have any problem with the grain raising.05-16-2019, 09:47 PM

Reply to Large puzzleWhen hydrodipping wood, do you need to apply a sealer/poly/varnish/shellac/other coating first? It seems like even briefly submerging bare wood in water would raise the grain (which normally requires at least a little sanding). Granted hardwoods don't do it as much.

Reply to Large puzzleCan't you divide it into thirds? You will need a front, side table table to handle 2/3's, but by cutting 1/3 with tabs all the way down or across, then focus on the first 1/3, then cut the 2/3s down to approximately (2) 1/3 pieces. If it is big enough, maybe by 1/4ths.
