Here is my dilema with turning pens using a CA finish. If apply the CA with a latex glove I always seem to get ripples.....maybe I am applying to much pressure when I apply the finish? If I use a paper towel, Even after 6 coats of CA, I almost instantly sand through even with 800 grit. I am guessing the coats are just so thin. Anyone have any better suggestions? I may just need more practice, it has been a while since I have turned a pen. I also think it could be the type of wood I was using as well last night. It was blood wood. Looks really good, but I think it is an oily wood.
