OK,
I turned my first commisioned pen this afternoon.
the only problem I am having is with the CA finish. It came out splotchy (is that spelling right). Spots are highly polished and look great. Other spots are more of a satin finish.
I thought I was starting to get better at this but this one did not turn out. In the past I have put upwards of 4 to 5 coats of medium CA and sanded to a pretty good finish. Every time I read about how folks are applying this finish they say the don't put more than 2 or 3 thin coats. So that is what I tried.
Anyone got any ideas of what I am doing wrong.
