Skin-on-Frame: Frame finishing
By:Jack Hawkins
Date: 5/16/2014, 8:37 am

Hi: I had planned on finishing my SOF frame with pure tung oil. However, I've read that oils tend to bleed through the skin fabric. So, now I'm not sure how to finish. I am using uncoated 8oz. polyester for the skin. I don't want to epoxy the whole thing. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack
