I was wondering if you can use CA glue on an Acrylic pen?,and if you can does it really make that big of a difference other then MM and polishing?

I use CA on corian and on my castings and don't have any issues. It gives a deep very high gloss finish.

I like doing it. I use 6-10 coats of thin CA. I like the shine I am able to produce and it's a more durable finish. That's just my technique.

This is one of the times you need to differentiate "acrylic" from Polyresin and Alumilite.
"Acrylic" is manufactured under far greater pressure than the "home hobbyist" can produce. Hence, it will not have "bubbles". No CA is required, and I have never seen an advantage to using it.
With "home pressure pots" there is a possibility of bubbles in polyresin and alumilite. CA is a great way to hide and, actually heal these voids.
There is certainly room for differing opinions in this matter!!!

At what speed do you apply the CA?

Whatever speed you are comfortable with. Obviously you dont want it to sling all over you so start out on a low speed and turn it up. But I'm with you Ed, MM on acrylics to start and CA on Poly's and Alumilites where needed:tongue:
