I have been trying to perfect my CA finish over the past few days but I have run into a problem...
I apply a thin coat of CA and harden this with with some accelerator. I do about 3 coats before I begin sanding with 600/800 grit paper (wet). After advancing a few grits into the process I have noticed a dull area may develope, sometimes in the middle of the blank, sometimes at the end.
I think this is this because I have sanded through the CA? Do I need to apply more that 3 coats? What is a good way of preventing this in the future?
The problem here is I cannot simply apply more CA and start over as it will still appear on the finishing product. In most cases I have to sand the entire blank back down to wood and start over. Could some of you experienced CA guys lend me some knowledge? [:I]
If you need a picture I might be able to get one posted later tonight...
