Permalyn Sealer

[greymount]

I am in the process of finishing a flintlock kit. In the past I have used LMF Permalyn Sealer with either Tru-Oil, Chambers or Dem-Bart as the final finish. I was recently told not to use LMF Permalyn Sealer due to the fact that it is polyurethane based and is subject to cracking and shrinkage to changes in humidity and weather. I was advised to use an oil based sealer which would have more flexibility when humidity conditions change. The previous guns in which I used Permalyn Sealer had had no problems due to weather changes and have been pleased with the results, however the guns are only 2 years old. Any comments would be appreciated.

 

It seems f it is a sealer then it should do what the name says. That being seal!
If it seals then how is moisture going to enter?

Looks to me as if you may have answered your own question :hmm:

If I were pleased with the outcome of a previous use of the product then I would run with it again.
Others that have had a bad experience with it may have been useing a piece of wood that was not dry well enough to start with which ,IMHO ,no matter what you used in such a case, you could very well end up with problems. :results:
