Question on PR blanks

[mranum]

I got a little carried away with a gouge on a PR blank and I ended up with a couple small pits. I can't hardly go any deeper to try and turn them off.

Can I fill these pits by building up layers of CA? Normally I would wet sand with MM and then use polish once that was done, can I do the same with CA?

Yes . Medium CA will work fine .

Sometimes I can fix an acrylic blank with sanding dust and CA (just like finishing burls). Doesn't always work on acrylics.

Filling with just CA can work, too. Treat the CA finish or repair the same as an acrylic, though you'll want to let the CA cure for a while if you fill pits.

OK thanks guys, I gave it several coats, I'll let sit overnight and play with it tomorrow and see what I get.

i put a dab of med. ca on each pit then hit it w/ accelerator. works every time, just sand them down after
