I am playing with taking holographic nail stickers and applying them to pen blanks prior to a CA finish. I am learning that some stickers react differently to the CA glue. Has anyone had this experience…tips?

Are you using a CA Activator or Accelerator? Most of them contain Acetone which is a rather harsh solvent and really attacks many types of plastics and adhesives. If you are using it, perhaps try letting the first few coats of CA dry for a few minutes rather than using the Activator. - Dave
