Today i made a cat-pen and finished the blanks with CA.
When pressing in the coupler a little spot on the edge turned grey. After a while the spot was about 6 mm wide.
The wood i used was merbau, a little oily type of wood and i'm thinking the oil does that.
I peeled the CA of the pen and gave it a wax finish.
The wenge wood on the tip of the pen the glue came of just as easy
Is it the type of wood that causes this or is it by using medium CA with accelerator?
