So it seems that I am selling stoppers at a rate of about 3-1 to the number of pens. I am going to be making lots more in the near future and I need help with finishing them. I am casting my own PR stopper blanks and those are no problem. I just use a 3-step buffing process. My problem is with the wooden ones. I normally use CA for my pen finishes and feel like I do a better than average job, however, I have VERY poor results with CA on stoppers. It bulids up in the grooves and then when I try to sand or buff, I end up buffing through on the ridges. If I do a very simple tapered design, I can pull it off, but that shape gets pretty boring real fast.
I remember seeing a post long ago where the finish literally looked like wet glass. I really want be able to acheive that.
Anyone care to share your process?
