Thread: Gorilla Glue Brand CA Finish "Works Great"

I have recieved a few PM,s and seen some discussion here in the workshop about CA finishes. Previous to using the Gorilla Glue brand Super Glue (CA) I really found that other brands of super glue were difficult to work with. But with the Gorilla glue brand super glue I can have a set of scales done in under 2 hrs that includes drying time with no difficulty, its been working great for me. So here it is guys (sorry no pictures)

Material list:
1. Gorilla Glue brand super glue ( must be this brand no substutes)
2. Throw away glue brushes work perfect
3. 3M Wet/dry sandpaper 400, 600, 1000, 1500

1. make a stand for finishing your scales

2. Put scales on stand, and run a nice bead of the glue down the center from toe to heal, have brush ready and brush out glue to thin even coat in 3-4 brush strokes ( it drys realitively quick, brush it out and be done, because you dont wana brush it while its tacking up)

3. Once dry ( approx. 20-30 mins) carefully start to wet sand with 400 and just smooth it with the 400 dont try to make it perfect yet. Once smooth move to 600 and carefully until shinny spots are gone do your best to try not to burn threw the finish while sanding

4. Apply second coat of glue as outlined above.

5. Once dry ( approx. 20-30 mins) carefully start to wet sand with 400 and just smooth it with the 400 dont try to make it perfect yet. Once smooth move to 600 and carefully until shinny spots are gone then move to 1000 then 1500 do your best to try not to burn threw the finish while sanding.

6. Time to polish if ya have a buffer you can buff the to high gloss finish no problem. If not, you can hand polish them up with Maas or step#1. rubbing compound then move to step#2. polishing compound.

If while polishing you see ya burned through just do another coat and repeat steps.
