Re: Sticky Weapons

Is the finish dry or still tacky? If it is still tacky, let it continue to dry. A dry environment will help.

If the finish is fully dry but is just sticky, that's more or less the nature of the finish. You can lightly sand with very fine steel to get a smoother feel.

I, personally, don't like smooth finish on my weapons. I want them, particularly the jo, to slide through my hands. I very lightly oil them with furniture oil, thoroughly wipe off the excess and let them dry.

If they become stickly, I lightly sand them with a super-fine sanding sponge.

Regards,
