Small problem

[Graham_C]

Turned this pine cone blank for a Zeta today and found these two air pockets. Now some (the missus) might say it's part of the character of the blank, others (me) that it's a reject.

No matter how I tried, I couldn't fill them with thick or thin CA any ideas please anyone?

Thin CA will fill them, no problem, you may need to use a needle to burst the bubble.

I grind Ebony in a coffee grinder finely mixed with thin Ca after preparing the problem area.

Just don't mix the CA in the coffee grinder. :nonono:

 

[Vic Perrin]

Copper or Brass powder with a touch of CA to bind it

 

[Phil Dart]

Or sanding wood dust pushed in with a suitably sized implement. You can colour the dust to whatever you want. Push it in and pack it tight, then dribble some thin CA onto it, which will wick into it and set firm.

Sage advice mate.

My Coffee Grinder I use also Dental picks a sharp one to excavate and a rounded end pick to push in the CA / fines. Sorry about the double of the Grinder.

What's the matter with that? Apart from sticking your lips together when you drink your coffee.

Now.... I can think of a few people I'd like to do that to.

Thanks for the ideas everyone, I'll see what I can do today :pray:

I would plug with dry coffee grounds or similar then drip super glue on, then buff it polish it.
