Default Minwax Wood Hardener Cardstock Test

Hello,

Just coated a cardstock test section of a PSI tube I use in my air pressure launch-able rockets.

Bought a couple of cans of Minwax Wood hardener to see if it would work to strengthen the cardstock.

It did!

Worked very well to bond the paper fibers together to make a harder/stiffer paper.

Used Aleenes Turbo Tacky Glue on the glue connection joint, the Minwax did not effect the glue joint or any of the printed ink on the cardstock.

An added benefit was when the paper was placed under running tap water, the water ran off (beaded up) and did not penetrate the paper at all!

Might be useful for the cardstock rockets made here!

Mike
