Could someone tell me their method for filling cracks or large open grain when they are finishing such a wood. I know I can have it stabilized or could fill it with some sort of colored powder, which I've done, but I'm mostly interested in what you do when you are using just CA.
I use primarliy Fangar's method. I make a slurry using thin CA and 400 grit paper. My problem is after I do the slurry and I go to sand it smooth I end up with the dreaded white spots, not the cloudy spots, but white spots in the lower areas. Then it seems like they don't want to come out. Do I need to create a think layer of slurry that will sand out smooth, or what? My problem is dealing with woods that have cracks/open grain that is above average in size. Hopefelluy this makes sense. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
