Are there any tricks to getting a good finish on Purpleheart without doing a CA finish? It seems that PH is the only wood that just leaves me unsatisfied with the final finish. Any help would be appreciated.
Try finishing it then using acrylic sandpaper(micro mesh)to polish the finish you have on it already, that's what I do with poly finishes, it will help alot!!!
I'm familiar with CA finishes but what is a CA Slurry?
I use a lot of purpleheart, and I've never had any trouble with it. I almost always finish it with CA. It tends to turn brown from the heat associated with drilling, turning, sanding, polishing, but then it goes back to a nice shade of purple with a little exposure to UV rays.
