Re: A Slow Boat To Nowhere
Two good ideas, thanks guys. Think I may try the Q-tip first, dry, and see how much if wants to leave fibers behind.

Re: A Slow Boat To Nowhere
A quick experiment shows the Q-tip kind of works. It gets the urethane down the hole ok but it wants leaves fuzz behind. You can only get 2 holes per Q-tip (one on each end) before it want to leave the entire cotton piece in the hole.
Maybe an eye dropper with a latex-gloved thumb over the bottom of the hole?

Re: A Slow Boat To Nowhere
Thin it and let it 'drain' through?

Re: Varnishing the Seats
Craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Mikel's have fat pipe cleaner looking things used for craft projects. I think they would work for applying urethane to the inside of the holes.algale wrote:

Re: Varnishing the Seats
Somewhere along the line, years ago, I picked up a little plastic bottle, maybe 2 inches tall, with an accordian pleated body and a long tapering nozzle in the cap. Squeezing the bottom of the bottle with your thumb pushes fluid out the nozzle, sort of like a plastic oil can. If you can find something like that you could tape the bottom of the holes and then use the squeeze bottle to fill the holes with urethane. Wait a couple of minutes, then remove the tape and catch any unabsorbed urethance on a cookie tin or piece of plastic sheeting. Just a thought.algale wrote: One thing, I've got to get some of that spar urethane down into all those 1/4 inch holes to seal the wood and protect it from rot. Anyone got an idea?

Re: A Slow Boat To Nowhere
Get a 'feeding tube flush syringe' at yer local pharmacy.
Has a tapered snout slightly less than 1/4" at the end with a body that will likely contain enough to fill all the holes. I like the plug bottom for a few minutes idea.
