I have a couple holly pen blanks. Is the ca glue the best finish for holly to hold it's color? If not, what is the best way to finish them?

:rain: I have heard of some people dipping holly in bleach after turning to whiten them. I never tried it myself. I know from using it that CA will darken holly. I will use a water based poly ( hydrocoat ) to seal it before applying CA. If not sealed the CA usuauly turns it a bone or ivory color. I am sure someone else may have a better way of keeping it white. Jim S
