Try putting some liquid on the blank and turn the lathe on and see where it sends it! - That's what it's trying to do with the CA. Go to BM bargains buy the super glue at a pound for ten put a thin line on some greaseproof paper and move across the blank from left to right whilst turning the headstock by hand until the blank is coated. Then spray a thin mist of activator from about 2ft away. Repeat twice more and polish with a compound of your choice. No ridges and a glass finish. It has always worked for me.
