Arch:

Are you saying that you just put the LDD on the blank and let it dry?
No dipping, re-coating, etc? Do you store your blanks inside your
shop/garage/shed or do you leave them outside in the elements? Do the
boring critters bother your wood with the soap on it?

Always interested in something new...
