    Default CA finish question...

    I know that this has been asked before, and I feel like a tool asking, but the search will not do 2 letter queries.

    What is CA finish?

    I know I should know this, but my brain is drawing a total blank.

    CA is short for CyanoAcrylate.

    Question

    Why not using varnish? I mean, what is the point in using glue? What are the advantages of using CA over varnish?

    CA really seeps into the wood and seals it off completely.
    Varnish can come off and let moisture through.
