    Default CA Finish

    I've heard mention of a CA finish tutorial, but I can't seem to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    I believe what you are looking for is clear acrylic.

    +1 to brandos method, he explained it to me, and it works like a charm, and is very easy, as long as you follow his directions.

    CA finish around here generally refers to cyanoacryllate (superglue), not clear acrylic. When shopping for superglues to use as a finish, look for ones that are slow curing and don't have additives for flexibility, etc...

    After reading the description of the CA finishing process . . .

    . . . . Now I understand why custom scales are so bloody expensive!
