best finish for trumpets?

[wlf89]

what does everyone use for trumpets, i have used polyurethane that turned out good, tried some super glue today the outside of trumpet looks good but the inside the trumpet turned white for some reason? which brings me to my next question should i be trying to put finish on the inside or not?

Me Personally I sand, finish and polish as best I can the inside of my trumpets because in all actuality that is the most important part of the trumpet call, the inside sound chamber, but to each his own I guess. I like CA but I also like TruOil for a finish and it depends on what the person that I am making the call for would like.  I like TruOil because the way I think about it is if it is good enough to put a finish on a wooden gun stock that will probably be exposed to some type of weather at some point or another and protect the wood it should do fine on a call, just my opinion.  The only down side with TruOil is that it takes time to dry between coats and multiple coats are required for a good finish where CA is cured in a very short time.  Turning white usually means that the previous coat did not have time to cure completely before the next coat was put on or it was put on too heavy from my experience.

ok thanks alot for the help, how to you apply it to the inside?

Think about this for a second after you read it and you will understand why I always sand, finish and polish the inside of my trumpet calls. 

If you had to drag a 100 pounds of something/anything either over a smooth, finished and polished surface or over a rough, jagged unfinished surface, which surface would it be easier for you to drag the weight over??? 

Sound is no different, it will flow much easier over a sanded, finished and polished surface than over a rough, jagged unfinished surface.

Does that make sense??  Just my thought on the subject.
