hi everone , i'm new to pen turning , in fact any turning , i have turned a few pens in the last week , and i am using ca glue for the finish , my problem is the ca build up on the very edges of the pen halfs , it seems a lot of ca sort of hangs over the edge next to the bushes , and is a nightmare to get off without damaging the finish
i have turned my own bushes out of hdpe rod , this polyethene plastic does not stick to ca glue , somwhen i come to applying the ca , i replace the steel bushes with these , but it still doesnt stop the build up on the ends
any ideas would be most welcome
