Dear Abby,
I am new and just finished my 7th pen. I did a cigar pen in BOW and it was looking really good on the mandrel last night w/a BLO/CA finish. I waited until just a few minutes ago (noon) to assemble it, about 12 hours. Now after assembly, I am seeing splotches on the finish that I didn't see on the mandrel. Don't think it is fingerprints as it won't wipe off.
Thought I kinda had figured out this BLO/CA finish until the last two pens. The last one I did before this was an Asian Ebony that polished up shinier than a new nickel up a goats rear end. Yet after assembly it was cloudier than Bill's car when he didn't inhale. I attributed this to my handling it with my grubby hands before it had a chance to cure good. But, this one... just don't know....
Sincerely,
Down and Discouraged
