Finishing pens with ca and boiled linseed oil seems like a older finishing method that doesn't seem as popular as using ca without blo and other methods.
I like to have various finishing methods available and want to learn to maximize this method along with others.
So a few questions for those of you who still use this finishing method regularly....
1. What is your application process? Oil then ca, ca then oil? Both at once? Also what thickness if ca do you use?
2. How many applications typically?
3. What do you do to the pen after the application? Micromesh? Just buff? Plastic polish?
Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps this thread could introduce newer turners to this method as well.
