How To Finish Bowls - Which Waterproofing Works Best!

[@GuardianOfMetalOzzy]

As a guy getting into wood turning with alot of questions, thank you for doing a good amount of hard work for me. 🤣🤘

[@MadeByMillennial]

My pleasure man, im happy to be of help!

[@Secondlifeofwoodturning]

Great idea! I was waiting for that video for long time. Good job 👍

[@MadeByMillennial]

Thanks man! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!!!

[@Jerron_New]

Great video, and amazing idea! Love it, thanks!

[@MadeByMillennial]

Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@DrunkArtTeacher]

Great idea....give wood workers different styles and ideas

[@stephaniepoulson3592]

Very well done. I liked all Of the screens. It sped up the viewing process. Super accurate. What brand of wax? Or what is it called in the store? Wood wax?

[@MadeByMillennial]

Just a paste wax, you can find it with the finishes at any home repair type store

[@curtismsh9211]

Great video.

[@JamesCouch777]

I've been wanting to turn some coffee mugs. I like to work with resin epoxy but I would rather use a more natural finish. This is a big help 👍

[@AatmanTrivedi]

Great video. Something I have been looking for since a long time. Solves my problem. I am trying to make a hydroponic planter pot in which water will sit in the pot permanently. I see resin and wax work the best but how did you apply both of them, that is the question. Thank you

[@AatmanTrivedi]

This is for a commercial development so I think epoxy will be not viable because of the cost and operation. What do you think about wax?

[@MadeByMillennial]

I think wax may be fine. It might be good to test it with pine planters first and see the damage over time. My guess is the soil will cause damage over time but if the goal is 6-8 months then wax may be enough protection.

[@Laura-dw4yo]

Very very well done video, thank you for this! Complete newbie question: I have a live edge bowl I need to hold water for roughly 1-2 hours at a time. Using something like paste wax which allows a small amount of waterloss, is that going to badly damage/warp the bowl over multiple uses?

[@MadeByMillennial]

Probably, the paste wax will still allow water in which should swell then warp the bowl as it dries. You might want a thicker wall and to use something like a poly finish. Good luck Laura!

[@hakanwedin5869]

Thank you for a great video! Would you know what type of coating is suitable when dealing with hot liquids, e.g. soups? Thank you!

[@MadeByMillennial]

I don't think I'd recommend something for hot liquids, it just seems like a bad idea. That said if I had to chose a coating it would be plain wood. You shouldn't be letting something hot sit out so water loss isn't as big an issue

[@zippo7422]

So the resin is the best, but how can you use resin it's like a liquid ? Or just paint the bowl with multiple coat's? I need this information for flower pots

[@MadeByMillennial]

Resin (Or even a polyurethane, which is kind of like a thinner resin) would be the best, and can be painted on like a thick paint. Just get a lower viscosity resin (or use polyurethane). Also make sure to have some sort of weep hole in the bottom to stop overwaterring. Good luck and I hope you see this/this helps!

[@hokodesign1724]

Thank you to made it. 👍🏻

[@MadeByMillennial]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Swiss2thfairy]

Which one is best for our health? If we are using the bowl for salat, which one holds up to vinegar? Thanks

[@MadeByMillennial]

Best for health is definitely Mineral Oil. It is a sealer for the wood which is non toxic and unlike a vegetable oil it won't turn rancid after a few months. I don't know how well it will Stan up to vinegars though, sorry. It might help to use a darker wood so the red/black stains from the vinegar go with the grain pattern. Hope that helps!

[@JDkmsp]

cool video thanks man👍

[@MadeByMillennial]

Thanks man

[@dianapina961]

What can I seal a wood bowl with so I can put candle wax in it

[@MadeByMillennial]

Candle wax is a sealant, so iwould just put the wax in it. Again, note my other comment if you want to make a candle holder

[@tomawood.]

Hello, I made a wooden tub, but I don't know what is the best material to waterproof it. can you guide me Thankful

[@MadeByMillennial]

So if by tub you mean a bath tub then I would definitely use an epoxy. Try to find a marine epoxy rated for/with reviews about use in wooden boat hauls. This will be far more damaging then what you're doing, but still make sure to over apply. Multiple coats and just paint it on. I hope this helps and that project sounds amazing!

[@dianapina961]

What can I use to put something on a wood bowl to make a candle out of it to make it Fireproof

[@MadeByMillennial]

Best option is probably char. Most finishes are flammable, but burned wood is pretty resistant. Just turn it thick and pre burn the wood. No guarantees though

[@nuthn2do]

Mineral oil is derived from petroleum. The only oil you should be using is food grade flax/linseed

[@MadeByMillennial]

I think most cutting board makers would disagree with you, but to each their own

[@nuthn2do]

@@MadeByMillennial But you don't drink hot liquids from a cutting board

[@anonymous.369]

Ok... which of these chemicals are "food safe?" Hello?

[@PennsylvaniaPanda]

God loves all of us so much He came in the flesh to die and rise so that if we choose to accept Jesus as our one true Savior we may be gifted eternal salvation through Christ’s perfect sacrifice on the cross. Have a wonderful week

[@ppumpkin3282]

What's up with the music over talking? Is this a millennial thing?

[@MadeByMillennial]

Personal thing, I tend to like a little background music. My older videos had it louder as I wasn't as good at video editing 😅

[@desireer6915]

I don't think it's bad. People do it all the time. It fills in dead audio spaces throughout the clips when he isn't talking.

[@susanp.collins7834]

No. This is an APPALLING video - all the screens and not knowing which process comes first and that stupid music in the background. Voice or music - WHICH? NOT both!

[@YuriyKhovansky]

I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
