Greetings All,
I made two seam ripper kits using a stick of purple heart. I finished them both and put them in my computer case for when I would run into my nieces for whom I had made them. Last week I pulled them both out and on one the finish had crazed like crackle glass and the other did not. Smae stick of wood same finish. Maybe different application of finish as I cannot be sure if I put the CA and accelerator on in the same order - that is my only variable unaccounted for. Additionally I just noticed that a flashlight sleeve I made out of some anonymous wood from Rockler also has crazed a bit but I dropped it a while ago...
Does it matter which order you put on the finish? Does it crackle due to wood drying out?
Thanks!
