I've been trying to find a finish that can be completed quickly. My normal finish is CA only (5 coats) then MM 1500-12000 wet. What I don't like is waiting for each coat of CA to dry to apply the next coat. So I thought after reading many tutorials on CA/BLO finishes on numerous sites I'd give it a try since it dries almost immediately and a pen can receive 5 coats in just a couple minutes.
So I thought I'd do a comparison. Here's what I found:
CA only finish produces a VERY shiney mirror like finish which I love. But the CA/BLO only seems to produce a somewhat shiney "sheen" finish which is okay, but to me, its not as stunning.
Has anyone else tried this out, or is there a way to get a "mirror like" shine using CA/BLO?
Thanks for any advice, or suggestions...
