Pen turning with a CA finish now on the back burner until I get hold of a half face respirator + cartridges from Ax. This afternoon though, I found some gash bits of 15mm nylon round stuff and made a couple of non-stick bushes for CA finishing. I tried them out on a Bubinga blank prepped with a tube already glued in place and they worked a treat on the mandrel. I also found some really fine (9, 5, 3 & 1 micron) 3M scary sharp films (now surplus) for finishing off the polished blanks once the CA has been applied - Rob
