Good work Michael! Looks alot better than mine have been turning out! How many coats did you apply? When you applied them, did you continue rubbing with the towel?
I saw a YouTube video where the guy kept rubbing and it got dull, and then shined up again after 30 seconds or so. I haven't had any luck doing this. I get the most shine when I wipe it on once and cover the call, and then just stop. I also soak in Teak Oil first, but I can't imagine that would mess with the CA. I usually let it dry for a couple days before doing CA; maybe it's still wet?
Any insight from you or anyone else would be helpful! Looks awesome for a first run!
Michael
