Description}: This is my first hollow form with small openingn 2" any way small for me it's 7 1/2 side and 4 tall It was pure green when I started first time for microwave drying first time using Sorby Hollowmaster. i don't think now that I microwaved it enough since I cant get the finish to dry. I soaked it real well with BLO and then wipe on poly but the Poly wont dry even got a new can yesterday and its still tacky today so any ideas. Not as thin as I would like but its not a funnel either and not as good finish on the inside as i thinks it should be but ran our of time. I hope you enjoy Ken
