So I've turned about half a dozen pens. The last three I've done with see a finish after watching several videos from PSI and a few others on YouTube I've gotten most of the kit to do the work. The one thing I don't have are silicon bushings are usually apply the CA with the metal lathe bushings and then just take the bushings off. I've not had too many problems with them but one of the things I've noticed is when I apply more coats the 5 to 6 coat range I start seeing more and more problems with the ends, cracking and chipping. It also appears they're starting to lift up on those ends because the CA will have a slightly lighter finish at the end, where it looks like the wood has separated from some of the CA, my assumption is due to the metal bushings.
Just out of curiosity does anybody else have this problem and will the silicone bushings completely fix this or do you find yourselves having a finesse the ends with touchup?
