I use Poundland thin CA 20 coats with accelerator between coats. The lathe runs about 1500 and I don't spray accelerator at full blast, but just a whisper from 4-6 inches away. I put the CA on fast and positive. I wet sand with MM and finish with Silvo put on with the lathe about 700 any faster and it melts the CA, stop the lathe and let it dry approx 30-60 secs then wipe off with the lathe on. I derived my method from David's at Timberbits.
