penpal thats a nice pen , i like a high gloss finish though and i dont think one coat of ca would achieve it , does anyone use a sanding sealer before applying the ca ?


TkWoodman , what are the benefits of applying with grease proof paper as opposed to paper towel , and turning the lathe by hand as opposed to on its slowest speed ?


Sorry for all the questions , but i'm just trying to find the best way to achieve a good end result , every youtube video i've watched has the lathe running at slow speed , and the ca applied with paper towel
