I'll start off by saying that I use William O'Young's method for applying BLO/CA almost exactly as he describes/shows it in his video. If I do something different, it is because I haven't watched the video in a while.
However, I just feel like I'm missing something. Sometimes the finish just seems kind of dull. Sometimes it is super shiny and smooth off the lathe but after it sits for a few minutes, it just gets dull. Other times it stays great. Anyone have any suggestions for this?
To use MM after applying BLO/CA, where do I start? 2400 to 12000? Light touch? I simply feel like I need to do something to get a shiny and smooth finish. Almost like I'm almost there but not quite.
