I have used CA finish successfully on hundreds of items, but today I'm having some blushing troubles. I was finishing some cherry scales that I cut down 4 years ago. The wood has been kiln dried since. I dried it at 1/2" thick and planed it down to 1/4" after that. So it has been sitting for over 3 years at 1/4" and therefore should be extremely dry. About a month ago I shaped these scales and have had them sitting ever since. Today I used a 6 month old CA on the scales and no matter how thin a coat they are blushing.
I feel that the wood is dry. The CA isn't that old. I am applying thin coats. The coats have had sufficient dry time. As of yet the only thing I have no control over is the ambient moisture, but it is still warm enough here and this is a desert.
Any thoughts?
