I wanted to experiment with applying a CA finish to one of my resin only pens, to see how it would affect the polish.
I applied 4 coats of Mercury medium flex, using a small piece of craft foam. applied accelerator between coats, and wiped the blank off with a blue shop towel. After 2 coats, wet sanded with 600 to get rid of some of the roughness, then wet sanded again after the final coat.
Assembled the pen, everything looked fine. Come back about an hour later, and this.
As far as I can tell, it's not on the surface layer. Won't scratch off, and the light reflects off that spot like any others. Anyone with more CA knowledge who can give me a hint what I did wrong?
