Hello!
I have tried to find a good answer to this question, and I know it has to be here somewhere, but I can't find it. Anyway, here is my problem. With a CA finish everything is going fine, and the blank looks phenomenal except on the ends. I have used wax coated bushings, the delrin bushings, I have tried cutting the blank from the bushing, etc, but I am occasionally getting what looks to be the CA finish coming off of the end of the pen blank.
I am sanding the pen blank to a 600 grit sandpaper, then using denatured alcohol and BLO. I am putting two coats of thin CA on first and then 10 coats of medium CA. All with a paper towel. I am using an accelerator between coats. Once the CA process is done I am detaching the blanks from the bushings and then using Micro Mesh to finish. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you!
