Hi all
Being new to pen turning I have been trying to settle on a method of finish, I am ok with the acrylic pens and get a nice glass like glossy finish without any issues, it the wood pens I am not yet happy with, I have tried some of the Common finishes all with varying degrees of satisfaction, I have sofar tried Friction polish, Melamine polish, CA and canubia wax.
Of those I prefer the finish I get with CA but still looking for other options before I settle on one to try and perfect.
So to the point of this post, has anyone tried using UV setting resin as a finish, what are your thoughts, any good or rubbish.
Thanks for any input with this.
