TIPI SERIES: How to Prep Tipi Poles (Part 2) | Gray Bearded Green Beret

I dusted off, you know, most of the dust and everything off of these poles and obviously they've been peeled and I took down any of the really high spots because the high spots are going to take the high spots take a chance of digging into your canvas and damaging the canvas on there and these are untreated lodge poles so I want to kind of treat these with something to kind of weatherproof waterproof them a little bit better. That's what I'm doing now is just giving them a nice heavy coat of this and I'll let it sit until it cures for a couple of days probably. I just got to kind of dust it off get the dirt and dust off and look for any high spots like that so that when I come back in smooth the nose out with the spot. Because the rough spots really, you know, take a chance of and if the poles are cleaner and dust free then I'll be able to put my linseed oil on there a little better. I dusted off, you know, most of the dust and everything off of these poles and obviously they've been peeled and I took down any of the really high spots because the high spots are going to take the high spots take a chance of digging into your canvas and damaging the canvas on there and these are untreated lodge poles so I want to kind of treat these with something to kind of weatherproof waterproof them a little bit better so I'm using a combination of half boiled linseed oil and half turpentine. You could use any thinner like a mineral spirits or whatever what have you so if there's any left over with this I'm also going to use this same solution to maybe make an oil skin. We'll see see what I've got time for see what I've got left. I've also got a picnic table I've got to do with this so I might not have any left but that's what I'm doing now is just giving them a nice heavy coat of this and I'll let it sit until it cures for a couple of days probably. So unfortunately as I kind of figured it was going to it started sprinkling uh it looks like it's about to rain so I'm gonna have to take a bit of a rain delay but the rain might knock away some of these bugs but anyway uh intermission until the rain passes because I'm filming this on my phone and I don't exactly have a waterproof case so be back when it stops. See you in a minute.
