Thanks for the reply. I just finished priming around 50. I did 2 coats on one batch then 1 coat on another. I think 2 coats add a xtra layer to cover grain. Do you dip 1 or 2 coats?

depends on the grain of whatever wood I'm using, usually ayc, cherry, etc is just one coat. if I'm using mahogany for instance, I might dip, sand, and dip again.
