I was turning a blank. Camphor wood. Nice varied colors red, orange, black, brown. Wood works nicely. I put a CA finish. Same way I have in the past.
2 coat of thin. then 8 coats of medium. Sand down through 15,000 using MM.
After about 3 weeks, the CA finish cracked like a husk and most of the finish just came off. Some of it stuck tight.
My only thought on this is that the wood may not have been totally dry. If the wood was still somewhat damp and the wood still dried a bit more, I think the wood could have moved enough to part away from the CA. Do you think that could be the problem?
Otherwise, do you have other insights or possibilities?
