After reading every single post on finishing with blo without blo ca only etc etc etc.....I have a theory on why my latest pen is shinny in some areas but dull in others.
I apologize ahead of time if this was already brought up by someone but...I think my pen is very slightly out of round Probably due to a too much sanding. I keep putting multiple coats of CA that look great dry, but after MM ing down, I get inconsistent shine. So after working on this one pen for literally 8 hours of finishing then sanding back to start over again, I think I've found what's going on. The only issue now is how to fix this....
..and thanks Curtis for the idea on using the skew to get the old ca off....a bit scary but it worked like a charm.
Still looking forward to a X-Mass present from Curtis on his ca finishing video
