Coating the inside of pepper grinders
Hi all,
Does anyone have a convenient way of applying some sealer to the inside of a pepper mill? It seems like a good idea for an aromatic or oily wood (I like the smell of huon and camphor, but I don't want my pepper to be either huon or camphor flavoured!), but it's a bit of a pain and I am unsure how effective it really is.
What I did for my most recent grinder was put the bottom of the grinder body inside a plastic cup, give a decent pour around the circumference of the hole and let the run off go into the cup for later use on the outside of the grinder. Then I wrap a bit of cloth around the head of a vermec sanding rod and twist that around inside the hole to spread it around and hopefully even coverage.
Is there a better way?
Cheers,
Danny
sealing inside of grinders.
I always seal mine with shellac. I use a Zinsser spray pack and it works a treat.
I recently made 150 woggles for the Scouts and used the spray pack --2 coats.
I do not use shellawax on grinders as I find that they can become dull after a short
period of use. I use feast & Watson satin poly and then buff them with lemon oil.
Seems to go OK. Hope that helps a little. Drillit.
