I am sure this question has been addressed on here before. I have read several forums on this and still need some help.
I have a couple of maple pens that I finished in CA over a year ago, I use them almost every day and picked them up today and the pens are now cloudy. I have had this problem in the past with Walnut and Zebra wood, but never with maple.
Here is the process that I currently use. I apply 2 coats of thin, and 4 - 6 coats of medium. I turn the lathe down to the lowest speed, clean the blank, apply with a paper towel, cure with accelerator, sand with 2400 and clean between each coat. I repeat this process until the last coat then sand down to 12000.
I have been using Titebond, is there a better glue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
