CA for finishes

A perfectionistic refinisher that lives close (25 mi) to me uses thick CA
glue extensively in prepping for finish. He uses it to fill all minor
depressions in the veneer. It even works on some pretty significantly
damaged places. Depending on the staining method and kind of wood, he may
put the color on first.

When doing his prep sanding he marks every depression that doesn’t sand out
flat with a small piece of masking tape.

He applies the thick CA to the depression, sprays accelerator on a small
piece of masking tape, then covers the glue filled depression with the tape.
He then peels off the tape and sands down flush using a hard block. Over
this he applies his normal finish and his finishes are flawlessly flat.

In the turning profession, CA glue can be used as a super hard top finish.

Terry,



BTW, did any of you know that if you open up a bottle of CA over a keyboard
and dump half the bottle of CA all over the keys with nice new plastic
keytops, that you can simply wipe off excess CA, sand with 320 then 600, and
then buff them to a new-like shine? Just did that yesterday - just needed to
know - in case it ever happens to me....   ;-)

Yeah, right! :-) But thanks for the info.

Avery
