nice work. can you use this same process on the cork that is now currently available?

I seal all my decoys with US composites but I use the 1:1 mixture. Have never had a problem. However another carver I know has been using the 3:1 mix and has yet to get a good finish. He has even went so far as to weight each component to ensure a correct mix. Still gets the cloudy look and...
