Thread: Restoration Tutorial: CA Finish

The was very requested on B&B and I thought you guys would enjoy even more. I did this today because I kept getting so many questions when I posted razors.

Razor Restoration Tutorial: Using CA Finish

Have fun with it!

Nice work chief. I should play around with some scrap wood while my scales are drying.

Thanks for posting.

Can this be added to the restoration Wiki please?

Great tutorial! Always wondered how this was done.

Thank you so Much. I wanted to try CA on a set of scales and have been searching for the proper method of use. I even got some CA and have been testing on a scrap piece of purple heart, but I have not gotten it right.

Thanks again!

Thats an excellent tutorial! Thanks very much for sharing it with us!

Thanks Aquanin, that's a great write-up. I had to learn how to do it the hard way. I had one set that must have had 27 coats of CA applied.
Plus I'm forever gluing myself to things with CA.
I really like CA because it a fairly fast process and I just love the shine.

+1! Great idea.

Well done Aquanin! Bravo!

That is a great resource! But it kinda worries me. I am planning on making a brush handle soon out of black and white ebony and coat it with CA. But looking at that tutorial I dont see how I could possibly do that without permanently attaching the handle to my hand. Any thoughts?

I would put a screw into the brush handle inside where you will glue in the knot. Make sure you predrill so it doesn't crack. Unless you are turning it on a lathe then I would apply during the turning process.
