With Swirl Aluminite...made by ElMostro(IAP) that I received from Scott - SDB777 in a box full of pen blanks. Thanks Scott!

Dressed up in a Titanium Gold Longwood Cigar.

Sanded to 400x, burnished with turned shavings, buffed with Ultrafine Steel Wool, filled voids with Med CA sanding dust slurry, sanded to 400x, buffed with Ultrafine Steel Wool, and applied 6 coats of MINWAX Clear Gloss Polyurethane.
No MM, polish or buffing required with this MINWAX finish.

Nice work the pen. Great finish, I guess I need to give poly a try.

Great looking pen/blank/turning/finish. How long does it take the poly to dry/cure before you can apply a second coat?

What form of poly is this? I have seen the clear gloss in brush and spray.

Mind telling us about your application technique?
