finish for stopper

[RKing]

Can I use BLO/CA on bottle stoppers, or, is there something better? I read somewhere that CA should not be used for stoppers.
If I cannot use BLO/CA what would the best finish for a stopper

I use CA on stoppers that are smooth and absent of sharp bead or coves. On more intricate cuts I use Deft spray laquer.

I've tried a few different ways. I've never had luck with spray laquer, I think I'm too impatient to let it cure. My fav right now is a few coats of thin CA then a hit with the beal buffing system, even though I still get melted white diamond stuck in spots then have to clean it out. Haven't found anything that's 100% every time yet.

I use CA on all wood stoppers.

I use gloss polyurethane wipe on from Minwax. Let it dry between coats, then use Lieberon black buffalo and buff it to a nice gloss.

I enduro all my wood stoppers and polish the acrylic ones on a Beall system. To me, unless it's a really nice burl, stoppers look better in plastic. JMO of course

Thanks Jerry. I will try my Enduro also.

I get the Liberon at a local hardware store. It is similar to Trewax or Simoniz paste wax. I put on 2-3 coats. I also use it on pens and other non-food wood items.
