CA Flame Finish Video

[Brooks803]

Had the afternoon free today so I shot a couple videos for those that asked.

This is me doing my typical CA finish:

I did shoot the flame finish video for this, but I wasn't happy with it so I shot another with a different blank.

The second half of the video only with FIRE:

Flippin' awesome. Now let you nails grow our a little :biggrin:

That is cool. I like it because I can play with fire and possibly create what you refer to as a fireball.

I actually prefer shiny but I think I might try it out.

Have you tried flame on Acrylic? Have you seen that video of the guy making a duck call that someone posted a while back? He flamed the inside to make it clear.

Thanks for the videos. Pretty cool technique.

Best quote from Brooks though: "I'm not really a wood guy"

Lol...wish I could! I don't bite my nails but I have to keep them short. Otherwise I get ingrown nails.

I tried it on a clear PR blank and a pigmented PR blank. The clear had decent results but the pigmented one didn't do anything.

However I do want to try a CA finish over a pigmented blank and see what happens.

Nice video Jonathan. If you mess up is the blank ruined or can you sand down the ca and start again?

Thanks Jonathan. Very interesting.

Thanks for sharing Jonathan. Where do you buy that sandpaper? Thanks.

Thanks for the videos! That's something I want to try sometime... One thing: how far away from the blank are you holding the torch? Does the flame touch the blank at all?

Nice, thanks for sharing. I don't know that I can do the flame in my shop or I may have a big fire ball.

You can. On the ca video I wasn't happy with those sanding spots so I turned it off and refinished it. I'm shooting the flame finish portion for it tomorrow.

I get mine from my local turning store. Amazon has it.

The very tip of the flame does touch at times. I try not to as to not blister it. The torch is about 5-6" away from the blank

I can't have an open flame at my storage unit,but I do have a nice heat gun.I think I might try that.

I think I'll try it out on some just-turned-round blanks to practice,in case I screw it up.


Thanks for the videos!
