Awhile back I post some pictures of a NIP hollow form that I had used MS on and spun it thru the pores on the lathe, brought it inside and left it open on the counter top to dry. I posted picture then of it sitting. Since then, I have put it back on the lathe and rubbed in Waterlox x 3 coats over a couple weeks then back inside where its still sitting - Still no Cracks anywhere - its been several weeks now
See Pictures 1-3
Today I had free time to turn some projects in the garage and thought I would continue on with some experimenting on drying. I turned a small bowl out of pepperwood yesterday and a hollow form today. The Bowl was turned and brought inside and set on the counter and nothing else was done with it. 24hrs later (today) i saw some micro cracking (marked areas in the picture) and touched them with a bit of CA - so far so good but still showed signs of very small cracking - micro but still.................
See Pictures 4-5
The Hollow form was rough turned (today) to the same thickness (approx) - sprayed with MS and spun at 1250 rpm's and I then used my "new" Typhoon blow gun to force the MS thru as it spun. The blow gun is very forceful when it blasts so you could see the MS spraying thru like a mist system.................

Ill post again tomm after 24hrs to compare to how it compares to the bowl...............
