I just finished reading the 2014 "CA My Way" by Harry Anderson. Very interesting and informative article. However, it left me with a question. In the article Harry states that he uses 6 coats of thin CA and 10 coats of medium CA. A couple of sentences below that he states that Martin Beauford suggests using 20 coats of thin CA only. I've also read other ideas from turners here on this forum that suggest the thin then medium CA finish technique.
Is there an advantage to using the thin/medium technique or is just personal preference? Is there a difference in the "quality" of the finish using either technique? Should an accelerator always be used between coats of CA? Thanks in advance for your help and ideas.
