Many of you know that I'm a fan of the pens plus finish.
One of the drawbacks of this type of finish is that by itself it one fill in pores and build up any thickness if that's needed to overcome imperfections or open grain.
My solution has been to use pens plus between sanding grits to fill in and build out the pen barrel to apply the lineal coats of finish. This has worked well enough.
However, I'm moving toward sometime even simpler. It comes out of finding that pens plus seems to play well with ca.
So I've been using just two thin coats of ca after sanding regularly. And then applying several (4-6) coats of pens plus.
So far so good.
