I tried my hand at applying a CA finish for the first time. Big mistake! Never use your hand. A paper towel works much better. But seriously folks, I was not totally successful, but I did learn a lot. The first thing I learned was to not apply at 3750 RPMs. 500 RPMs works much better. The CA will actually stay on the blank & not the wall, ceiling, face, shirt, ect. The second thing I learned was to separate the bushings from the blank in between coats. It might take more time but it beats the alternative of trying break them loose after several coats. The third thing I learned was that a CA finish is incredibly hard to completely sand off. I messed up twice & decided to start over both times. What a PITA! I had to break out the 60 grit & it still took a long time. Anyway, I am not giving up & will try again soon. :biggrin:
