General Finishes - Seal-A-Cell/Arm-R-Seal
The General finish took only two hours to dry to a low-gloss sheen with fair water resistance.
Aug 01, 2005
The author tested 15 wipe-on finishes, including a water-based finish and both tung-oil and linseed-oil-based finishes. Pure boiled linseed oil and Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane, a brushing finish, were added for comparison. All the finishes were tested on pieces of red-oak plywood cut from the same sheet. The General finish took only two hours to dry to a low-gloss sheen with fair water resistance. Its color was relatively dark.

Veritas Standard Wheel Marking Gauge
The gauge is very easy to set, since it has an internal O-ring to keep light but constant friction on the rod. A very comfortable gauge to use.

A thin woven core makes XFasten tape strong yet not too thick (0.008 in.), and helps it hold powerfully without being difficult to peel off.
