- After milling up a piece of Lilac, I promised you that I would show you how I go about putting a CA Finish on it for a pen, so here ya go. I am NOT saying that this is the only way or even the best way to do this, it's just my way of doing it. Hopefully you'll find some of this information helpful if you currently struggle with getting a good CA Finish on a project.

Man, that pen just SHINES! It looks great, Chris!
Wow what a beautiful pen. Its amazing how it ends up from the start to the end. A nice gift or a great pen to have in the home-office. Have a great week. best wishes from Norway
Wonderful job! The layers between the CA and the plastic finish shine beautifully in the end, creating a wonderful beautiful pen. Many blessings to you and thank you for sharing!
Wow, very beautiful Chris! It looks like butter too! Great job and thanks for showing us this.
Great finish, and that blank is beautiful. Nice to see your technique Chris
What a beautiful pen Chris. You said it felt like butter and to me it look just that way. You made it look very, very easy. Thanks for all of the tips and taking time to show us your way
fantastic video & demonstration Chris
Write on! That looks amazing!
Really amazing, I love ca finishes! Starbond rocks as well! Great job Chris!
Nice Chris. Something I'm gonna try soon. Thanks for sharing.
Hope I remember all this if I ever get a lathe! Nice looking pen.
Beautiful work Chris, that pen turned out nice my friend!
Great looking pen Chris, I use the same technique to apply CA.
Thanks for sharing Chris! I'm currently looking up all sorts of info on CA finishing techniques, yours came up #3 in my yt search!!
For me I never had luck with the ca finish, but for over 30 years I have been a furniture finisher, and I found 4-6 coats spray on pre cat (pre-catalyzed lacquer) works great. And yes your pen looks great. :)
Hi William , i'm a furniture finisher also . What do you think about putting a polish on between coats ?? It kinda jumped at me .
You make it look so easy its awesome :)
I just started my woodworking journey, I love everything about it...
Lilac turns beautifully! I'm still trying to get a good CA finish, thanks for the tips Chris!! Have you tried using a CA accelerator between coats? That is a gorgeous pen my friend :)
I would suggest wiping between each grit change. This avoids left over one to another.
Nice finish, I do the same for the most part.
Great job, I've never made a pen. (Yet)
Excellent work!
Yet another way to CA. Amazing to a new pen turner the CA variations
So, no problem putting CA over the polish?
I like those bushings, do you find they wear faster than the metal ones?
What grit did you sand the blanks to before applying CA glue?
2 questions, Chris. Have you ever tried CA on something larger than a pen like a box or maybe a clock? Also, does the plastic polish get stuck in open grain woods like oak?
Hey Chriss. Thats beautiful buddy iv realy learnt alot about CA finishing but can i ask was it a thin CA or medium CA ?
I enjoyed the video as well as your channel. No offense meant but did you come up with that routine for finishing, or did you get it from other turners. Just asking because most of the ones I watch use that same method. However, there are some who sand less. Who is right.?
God Bless my friend.
Chris, please do not sand any hardwood past 320 grit. If you do, you are just burnishing the wood. Any finish will not be in the wood but, on top of it. I want my finish from the inside out. Great video for the way you do ca finish.
Thanks for showing how you apply a finish. Does it matter if I use a flex ca glue or regular ca glue. Thanks.
Chris Cute Thanks, I have only used SticK Fast CA wood Finish and it has been good so far. I was just curious about using the regular because it comes in larger bottles but I have heard it’s not as durable as the Wood Finish type and the regular is prone to cracking. Thanks for your input.
12 thousand or 12 hundred grit on the final polish? I'm more familiar with metal & composite matetial but we only go up to about 1200 grit
If you don't want to spend money on non-stick PE bushings, cut a few 2" x 2" pieces of plastic cling wrap and cover your steel bushings. Secure the folded-over corners with tape or a rubber band. CA won't stick to cling wrap or plastic bag material.
