Hi All.
I'm still struggling to get a glass like CA finish. I tried many ways to apply the glue... thin w BLO 15 coats, medium no BLO 5 or 6 coats, sanding between layers or not.. wait 24h, then MM up to 12k both ways and finally flannel w blue paste both ways... I do manage to get a high gloss but always have micro scratches that spoil the highlight when seen in sun light - it is not razor sharp.
What am i doing wrong?
I was thinking sanding in between layers was the key but it does not seem to make a difference. Maybe i'm not polishing properly?
I read that many do apply a final coat of wax (Renaissance Wax?) over the finished CA. Would that fix the micro scratches? What about a car polish?
Advices welcome! :wink:
Thanks
