The other day, I glued up some blanks with Gorilla Glue. I don't do liquids very good and I had more on me than on the blanks.
One of the blanks was covered with it, and the next day after it dried, the blank had a wrinkled and rough finish on it, from where the glue dripped, but it was kind of shiny.
The coating looked like it might be usefull for finishing pens. I turned a blank round and sanded it very smooth, then carefully applied a thick coat of Gorilla Glue.
Next day, I turned it smooth, then sanded it and polished it, the same way I do a CA finish, except I only used the one coat.
It turned out to look about like a good CA finish. This one thick coat filled the grain, and it appears to be plenty hard, although I don't have a way to check for hardness.
Although it was rough looking when it dried, with runs all over it, it finished up easily by taking a few very light cuts, and when it was smooth, sanding and polishing.
Has anyone else ever tried finishing with Gorilla Glue?
I think it would make a durable finish, because the stuff is so hard to remove after it sets up.
