    Default What exactly is CA

    I keep seeing CA in posts in the workshop, what exactly is CA and how exactly do you finish wood scales with it.
    Thank you Tony B.

    Much more than superglue.

    Cannonfodder did a good thread about using epoxy resin as a scale finish, and he did say its a lot easier to put on than CA as well.

    Heres the thread:

    Heres the workshop guidance thread, which will link you to a lot of great information.

    CA does give a different finish though, I prefer it over epoxy resin.

    And I always thought CA was short for California...

    When done properly a CA finish can be truly nice looking but you need lots of patience sanding and layering + the fumes are killing so you better always wear a mask and goggles of some kind.
