Hello,
I just joined the forum and am new to pen turning. I have a question in regards to applying CA glue as a finish.
I am going to use GluBoost and try that approach after watching lots of different videos on YouTube. My question is in regards to the diameter when you turn down the pen. If you turn each end down to the diameter of the bushing and then apply a CA layer, would there be any issues with these multiple CA layers building up to the point where there is now a noticable difference in the diameter between the kit parts and the blank? The CA has to be of some thickness - I just don't know if it is sufficient enough to worry about. I guess if it was then the solution would be to sand down each end of the blank to be slightly narrower than the bushing to allow for the CA layer to build back up?
Hopefully not a dumb question.
Thank you in advance!
