Having some trouble lately when I finish the pen and remove the bushings, the ca finish chips off the end of the wood. Should I be waxing the bushings or something else?
Thanks.
Thanks.
For those who want to go the UHMW plastic route you can get either the UHMW or HDPE from Grainger for a reasonable fee. I recently bought a 12X12X1 1/2 inch slab of HDPE for $32.00 and was able to pick it up at a store near my house thus saving the cost of shipping.
Chuck the blank between centers w/o bushings and finish it that way. A little acetone when you're done takes the excess CA off the centers. You'll likely have to true the ends, but I think that's a good thing as the CA seals them for sanding. Just how I like to do it.
