has anyone soaked the corn cobs in polyurethane before turning ?
I was recently told to try this.
when using ca as a finish, what steps do you take to prevent the bushings from attaching to the blank ?

it's pretty hard to avoid having the bushing stick to the blank... but you can use a sharp skew to get them off after each coat or what i usually do is wait until i'm done with the polishing and lightly tap the bushing with a hammer (while still on the mandrel) and it breaks clean off. sometimes, i'm left with a little ridge on the bottom of the blank and i'll just use the barrel trimmer to flush it with the blank end.
