I like using CA as a finish and am starting to get consistent results. However something happened yesterday that maybe you can help with.
As I apply CA, usually about 4 coats, it will flow on to the bushings. Knowing that, I always apply a little paste wax to the bushing surfaces that go inside the blank to reduce the chance of the bushing gluing up on the inside. But it will of course flow on to the outside of the bushing. When I am done, I remove the bushing by gingerly "snapping" it off the blank. Most of the time I get a clean break. But occasionaly, it breaks with a chip out on the blank.
So the question is, do you do anything special to separate the blank from the bushing after a CA finish?
