Steve Russell and the Plexitones

[woodArtz]

No, it's not a fifties rock and roll band. It's one of my favorite turning writers and he's put out his latest tip on a finish called Plexitone. Anyone here ever tried it? I'd like to hear some reviews. It looks like a similar technique to CA.

While you're checking out the tip, take a look at the rest of the tips on this site. There's a ton of information on all aspects of turning here. I met Steve at the Charlotte woodworking show a few years back; he's a great guy with a very straightforward style. Check it out.

I'll put this back into circulation....

I've seen pens in IPA finished w/ the plexi-acetone mixture. I've never tried it, but I'm not a big fan of the plastic feeling I think it'd leave.

Thanks for the link though, that looks like a lot of great information!
