for finishing, I make do with thin and medium. I very seldom use thick for finishing.

But that said, I keep one or two 2-ounce bottles of thin, medium and thick on hand at all times for various uses.

And, thanks for the reminder - it's time to reorder.

For a CA finish, I use about 2-4 coats of thin, then light sanding with MM, then 2-4 coats of medium, then more MM.

I like to start with a few coats of thin and finish with the medium ....I'm curious if anyone prefers the thick for finishing?
Monty/Manny has great glue at a great price. http://woodenwonderstx.com/WWBlue/NewGlueWS.html
and you can also get his glue from Ed and Dawn at http://www.exoticblanks.com/

I've done it with thick, but curing times can take up the better part of a day if you're putting it on like it's named... Since I've gotten a bit better at it, I have not used thick in many months.

I've done it completely with medium also and that has worked out well for me, but I will also use thin for the first few coats when working with soft or porous woods, so it can soak in and fortify the wood a bit...

I am in awe of people who can do it all with thin, but then it gives me something to work for...

I use only thin and medium for finishing also. I use thick for gluing tubes and segmenting. Thin is my most used by far.

Two coats of thin and 6 coats of medium (200 cps I think) for my process. I only use CA for finishing, never for gluing in tubes.
