Yes, I apply my Ca while on the lathe. I make my pots using a expanding mandrel so the application is the same basis a pens and duck calls. The hardest part is when applying on the bottom. Turn the speed down as low as you can and apply the ca from the outside towards the center. This helps to overcome the centrifugal force the spinning creates on the ca. That force has. Tendency to create small ridge lines. Applying out to in and learning the speed which to apply the ca just takes time. You may have to wet side a little more in the beginning but with practice it gets better.
