So I was in my local Woodcraft and saw this Alumlite/burl blank that looked really nice. I couldn't help myself, so I picked it up. I've never used one of these before, so I was hoping some of the more experienced turners could give me all the tips for working with this thing.
Some questions: Do I need to paint the barrels? To trim the blanks, should I use sanding or a pen mill? Should I sand wet or dry? Is finishing with CA recommended?
Thanks.
