Everything depends on the brand of CA whether you get used to thick medium or thin CA. I use medium only one coat never cut it back dead even coating. I experimented with cutting that none coat off and I can tell you its sticks like tar to a Tomcat and has to be cut off. Pre CA I use tripleEEE U Beaut which is a supreme product all of this is with timber blanks. I apply it lightly at about 1500 rpm using blue paper special towel no heat involved wait briefly spray with fixer. All of these apply to me obviously not to anyone else we all have our own experiences. From your original post John your problem is build up on the ends I never go over past the ends with CA applying lightly.

Works for me. Trust you find your way the pen I showed you has a beaut finish but I light my pens various ways to suit the subject as flare is easily encountered but no detail in flare I have found.

[QUOTE="Penpal, post: 187844, member: 122"] Everything depends on the brand of CA whether you get used to thick medium or thin CA. I use medium only one coat never cut it back dead even coating.

Pre CA I use tripleEEE U Beaut which is a supreme product all of this is with timber blanks.
