I am working on my first set of wood scales. Some nice walnut for a Dubl Duck. Previously I have only worked with Micarta. Was wondering what steps I need to do before applying a finish (was thinking of using CA) so that my scales turn out as good as possible.
The scales have already been sanded to 600 grit.
Do I need to rub down the scales with Acetone? Can I use fingernail polish remover for this step, or do I need straight acetone?
