Quick Question - Mineral Spirits and Cape

[Scottr6860]

Fellas long time no talk. Just had a few questions

1) Got mineral spirits to seal plug instead of sanding sealer. How long do I soak? Do i need to mix with anything? How long to set?

2) Going to the Cape this weekend and want to catch my first bass over 25". I have a boat (26" Regulator) and will pay for gas and ice if you bring knowledge and tackle (rods,lures, etc). I am used to tuna fishing in NJ and want to get a big bass. Boat is out of Oyster Harbor Marina.

Thanks a bunch

RUT RO!

**********************Mineral spirits is a solvent only DO N O T soak in plain mineral spirits************************

It's used to thin the sanding sealer, spar varnish, tung oil, linseed oil, etc.


Man if your boat wasnt so far east I'd say I'd take you out. I don't have much experience in that stretch east of cotuit to Monomoy other than I think it is Bishops & Clerks rockpile. If you want big bass right now you need to be on the n side of the Vineyard or S side of Cuttyhunk.  That's a long ride from Osterville....

Call me today if you want to take the ride. I haven't looked at the forecast though but should be HOT.

The thought just occurred to me maybe he's not using them as plugs

Maybe he's making some kind of new Molotov !@#&tail LOL

Wel i am glad I didnt soak in just mineral spirits. What is the best to mix mineral spirits with and what ratio? Also, thanks a bunch for offering to take me but I am not on the Cape until Friday.

Scott I was looking back through old threads here and realized you never got an answer, did your question get answered in the sticky sealing thread at the top?
