I'm done with CA. I just had the most expensive pen I've ever sold come back on me.
This is my biggest worry, and the fact that I had had this pen for almost a year before selling it is frustrating. These finish issues make me not want to do pens, since the finish can be applied perfectly, look perfect, be down to the exact size needed. Be fully cured over time, and STILL CRACK!
So........ I'm looking for an alternative. I've heard Enduro is more flexible, so it'll be less prone to cracking. Is this true? I have a quart of the water based gloss product from Rockler. I had successfully done an application with brushing it on, but once I sanded it became dull. The concensus was that I didn't wait long enough for the product to cure. How long between coats, and how long to wait for it to cure fully before I sand/ polish? I'd like to get the pen back to the owner quickly.
Thanks!
