Tried a new finish

Do not use large pieces of T shirt, if they can wrap around a finger they are TOO BIG and are dangerous.  That is why most turners recommend paper towels, they will rip off of your finger, but if you wrap a piece of cloth around your finger you just might remove a finger if it gets caught.

I use the CA finish on my calls also. I use a Q-tip to put it on the inside. Between coats I use steel wool then wipe it down with alcohol. I've heard CA likes an alcohol residue seems to work well for me. Bill I also use the Viva paper towels not much lint on them. On my last coat I use a fine sandpaper to knock any high spots off, steel wool then buff the finish out. So far of all the finish's I've tried this works best for me.

Wow Braz! that's 1/2 price!!! is the quality good? ... just added to favorites.

I have a friend that is a material engineer, he said the "perfect" surface for CA glue was a residue left by 30% alcohol. That's rubbing alcohol. Tried it out on my last finish, I just cleaned lines between coats and used steel wool, then wiped it with rubbing alcohol. By the time I could tear off another piece of paper towel it was ready for another coat, even on the med. Gave me my best finish to date.

As far as I can tell, it is of the same quality as any other I have ever purchased. Great service too.
