I want to try CA finishes, but was afraid of the bushings getting glued to the blank. So I decided to make some Delrin bushings. I got a piece of 1/2" Delrin rod from my local plastics supplier. Mounting pieces of the rod in a chuck, I drilled them through with a letter D drill bit. Then cut a taper with a skew, and cut them off. I think they're going to work well.

I find these cones work great for applying CA, good luck with it :thumbs:

Let us know how you get on with them and if the CA builds up easily on the cones and if its easy to get it off them. I use nylon cones and I find the CA does build up on them and, while CA doesn't stick to it exactly, I have to cut it away to clear the cones of build up.:thinks:
