Hello Steve.
What you are using is not a finish for a pen as any shine that you get will disappear as you handle it.
Some folk use CA glue as they get a very shiny finish. There are plenty of Youtube videos showing how to apply it.
A lot of us here use Melamine Lacquer, which will give a more durable finish than friction polish.
Here's a link to the process.
