Hey guys,
I have problems finishing cocobolo. I need your help to pinpoint the possible cause.
I mainly have two problems: CA does not seem to hold well on the wood and the finish gets cloudy as soon I push accelerator so I have to sand and sometimes after a little while cloudiness appears on the finish. My garage is really humid, I can see the humidity on the floor and the windows. I had an awesome piece of cocobolo with rare raindrop pattern which blown into pieces after 5-6 hours of finishing problems. I am usually able to make a nice finish.
I used new CA glue, same thing, changed accelerator, same thing, sanded down and used acetone to remove the oiliness of cocobolo, same thing. It seems I just can't finish cocobolo on this particular day.
Thanks for any pointers I am quite disappointed, it's a blank I have been saving for some time.
