The wooden handle is very coarse. Can I spray it with WD-40 to give it a more refined feel? What other things may help the handle feel better?

The wood handle might become less course after use. WD-40? If This is being used for food so i would pass on the WD-40. Try clear coat

Mine seems to be fine but if needed, I would sand it a bit and put some oil on it. I don't think I'd opt for WD-40 since it's used for my food... just a bit of vegetable oil would probably do the trick. It will get smoother with use too.

Mineral oil that's specifically made for wooden cutting boards and wooden utensils. There's a product that's a combination of beeswax and mineral oil that's fabulous. The beeswax helps fill porous or rough spots. Sand and clear coat.

I think I would reach down to the joints far enough to squirt some WD40 into the them. Then gradually start working the joints a little at a time. You probably have some corrosion in those joints, but I bet they will loosen up with some lubrication and gentle persuasion. Let us know how you do with it.

I suggest wiping it off after use and and applying a thin coat of WD40 after use. Other than that it is a well made tool.

The handle appears to be a hard wood. I LOVE this tool. It makes gardening a joy.

The mesh is not smooth, so it may feel rusty but mine was not actually rusty at all. The handle definitely looks aged. I was very happy with the antique feel of it but I guess it's not for everyone. As far as what the other person said about breakage, I overstuff mine on a regular basis and have had zero issues

Depends on what the GUNK is. You might try soaking in minereal spirits after the blade is thoroughly cooled. DONOT get the tool in mineral spirits. Again it depends on what the GUNK is.

totally NOT all wooden. The Handle is wooden.... the blade is really long and really metal.... not the sharpest blade (nice point though)for what you wanna take it too...... might not be the best choice.

I would not recommend it because of the wood handles .. I would just use a damp rag and wipe it down for longer use .. Hope that helps ..

Yeah the fore grip is slightly loose and has a little wiggle when you maneuver the gun. Its two separate pieces of wood on the fore grip connected together (one on top and one on the bottom) around the barrel. You could probably just run two screws up the bottom piece to the top to hold it together better, but make sure to bore out slots for the screws before running them through the wood.

You can do a Partial job. Removing the spray tip, and taking a plastic bag and put it over the handle with the trigger. I believe the store time on this product is like almost a year. This last project I did, my Foam It Green was delivered in Oct, but I ran out of time to do my project. It was not done till like 6 months later, and the stuff was fine. The temps have to rite on the cylinder and the place you are doing it in for the chemicals to work properly. Go to the Foam It Green web site and they explain this on how to store. Hope this helps.

Yes. Relatively. But by then the whole coating is damaged and discolored. The handle temperature would be your secondary problem.

My handle doesn't stick too much, I feel like I read some other reviews that said it did after having it for a while. It may depend on the type of cleaner that is it there. Something with baking soda could potentially get clogged. I might recommend running some hot water through the sprayer system.

You need to get a Penetrating oil/fluid (which WD-40 is NOT) and soak the knife in it for a couple of hours. Or, since the tool is stainless you can also try soaking it in warm, soapy water for a while. Once you get the tool opened up, THEN souse 'er down good with the WD-40.It sounds to me like someone's maybe peeled a sugary fruit with the knife blade, and let that juice run down in all the crevices and then put the tool up without cleaning it good first. You'll get it squared away, no doubt.Good luck.

there seemed to be a light coating on the wood. I must say that the handle did not seam to need any sealant. however I twiked the handle by using 220 grit ,very lightltly then used two coats of lnsead oil .don't worry about the handle, its good out of the box. check you tube for info on fine tuning the edge. i have used this tool all winter and am very pleased with it. have fun . bill

I haven't washed it, yet, but, when I do, I plan to fill the sink or a bowl with sudsy Woolite and swish it around in it, then rinse it. I would guess that soaking it would ruin the wood finish. BTW, I love this brush!!

Just use some distilled water and a spray bottle. Thats what I did and it worked like a champ. Then just wet it liberally and make sure you use a sharp blade.

The woodgrain handle is a beautiful brownish color. It really is very nice looking.
