This is probably old news for a lot of folks here but it may be new news for some. In stumbling around some old finishing threads I ran across using craft foam for applying CA to avoid the high ridges that you can get using paper towels as an applicator. So I got a pack of these at Hobby Lobby <http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/8-1/2-x-5-1/2-bright-eva-foam-sheet-value-pack-570218/>, cut them into ~1" wide strips and gave them a go. WOW did the craft foam ever make for a smooth CA application that required very minimal sanding with 400 grit before moving on to Micro Mesh. Since the CA that you put on the foam goes on the pen rather than being absorbed by the paper towel, you use less CA for each coat. So if you are getting ridges with paper towels, give the Craft Foam a go... I know I'm a dedicated user of it now!
