Hi, Midnight Turner
I struggled to get the CA method as I would like it. I tried many types of applicator and used pure cotton as my first solution. I then, out of need, unused the basic Sainsbury paper kitchen towel and it is great and cheap. I take one sheet and fold it 5 times then put a drop or two of thin or medium CA on to it and quickly wipe it back and forth on the pen to get a thin layer, spray quickly with accelerator then go again. I occasionally get the fumes, but I have always assumed it was because I put to much on and let the paper have too long a contact with the pen. I am very please with the results and I wear a helmet when I do it.
