So I ordered some dip finish, assuming its like poly off of PSI. However it dries in 30 mins. My problem with CA is only that I can not successfully cut off the bushings. I have tried using a utility knife. This causes raised glue on the ends which will flake off. I know I could get delrin finishing bushings, but that gets too pricey with all the kits out there. Anyhow, I should receive the high gloss dip tomorrow. So this morning I disassembled two of my cigar pens. Ebony & Canary woods and dipped them in poly from miniwax. I used Hercules hooks to put them on since it has a strong curve and let me dip them. I then hung them up in the garage before I left this morning. I am curious to see how this will work. The dip I got from PSI only takes 30mins to dry, where the poly takes 3-4 hours and then 24 hours after the final coat. I am anxious to get home tonight and see how well the poly worked using the dipping method.
I am not totally banning CA as a finish for me, I just like to experiment.
