The use of CA as a finish is always a topic of importance here and there are those that are looking for the ultimate application technique so the search goes on. I was talking with a member here and he brought up some good points about using CA that I was wondering about myself. I have not had the time invested in making pens to be able to track reliability and flaws when using CA as a finish. So I thought I would throw the questions out here and am sure the long time users will be able to jump in.
Has anyone had problems with any of your pens due to the use of CA, down the road??? Has there been failures due to cracking in the finish??? Has there been cloudiness due to adhesion problems??? Has anyone had their pens returned because of the use of CA??? Has there been chipping??? It doesn't matter if you use straight CA or CA/BLO. Just state what you used. Does the amount or type of CA cause problems??
Are these problems avoidable or are they inevitable??? Does wood shrinkage play a factor in the use of CA??? Thanks all for the replys.
