ONE FOR THE THINKERS

jeudi 24 juillet 2014

I had to make 7 Tasmanian Myrtle pens. They were all the same pen kits so I turned the lot the same. Then I started to apply CA to them. Most went well. However on 4 blanks (i.e., 2 pens - slimlines), after I applied 15 coats of CA I watched the entire shiny CA evaporate and the blanks went dull. I sprayed with accelerator and applied another 5 coats. One evaporated again to a dull finish. Then I sanded the lot, including these blanks with MM. Guess what - the polish look came out of nowhere.



Anopther 2 blanks went frosty with the accelerator and stayed that way even after another 6 - 8 coats of CA. I couldn't give a bugger by this stage and just MMed them back. The frosting went and a high polish resulted. I know that MM can cut back through the frosty layers but I almost had to go back to timber before the bright shine.



This is the first time I have ever seen any of these things happen and it was only on Ts Myrtle, because I used the same glue and accelerator on 4 other timbers later and no problem.
