Be careful with the Minwax.  It has really poor tack properties and it gums
up rods fast...make sure you wash you rod immediately.  Whatever you do
don't store prints back to back for weeks.  I abandoned this one about a
year ago...but it does illustrate the incredible bang that you can get from
coating.
