I did a CA finish on this pen and after a month or so a daily use there are a few spot that are no longer shinny. There are a few random spots as well as a small strip around the 2/3rd of the pen.
I tried to get good pictures of it, but all i had was a microscope at work, so it is almost too close to see the problem.
My initial thought is that I did the CA went too thin after I smoothed it and the daily use worn through it.
Any opinions? It isn't local to any one wood, but seems to appear more on the Purple Heart.
I was just going to disassemble the pen, hit it with the higher MM to smooth is out, and then redo the CA thicker. Is that ok, or do i need to strip all the finish off?
Thanks!
