I am doing some pen and pencil sets for my son-in law and my CA is just not working very well. I got a bright idea to try Min-Wax Fast drying gloss Poly finish. It went on smooth and I let it cure 3-4 hours before sanding with 400 grit before adding another coat. Did this for 4 coats and let sit for the past week. The finish is dry to the touch, but there still is some tackiness to it. When I slid my fingers across the finish it instantly went dull. I reviewed Les's instructions and I pretty much did the same as called out there. I am at a loss on why the Min-wax does not want to harden. I am applying in on Macassar Ebony. Not sure if this wood is too oily and I need a different finish. I am trying to avoid CA for a while to see if I have a sensitivity to it or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
