Cause Kimura said so.

Well, he's NOT my fav bonsaiest, so that holds little water for
me. ;-)

Ha!, Well, I think his talent IS wonderful, but , STILL disagree on the LS
thing. I GUESS I'm allowed? :)
Anyway, whether you appreciate Mr. Kimura or not his statements still become
gospel to most as they leave his lips.
This is a common thing as I see it in bonsai the world, especially in the
day of internet where many may not have the actual experience. Over the
years I've noted many "gospels" on subjects from Kanuma, to Haydite to
glazing pots underneath or inside. These master opinions often become gospel
as they bounce around.
Oh well, enough on that!

P.S. Oh, BTW, Jay, it wasn't me ( and don't know who it was) who suggested
spritzing the minwax wood hardner very lightly after application started to
dry to knock off the sheen, but, I certainly agree it would probably do the
job fine..
