I just breathed hard on it and it worked fine. Wish I had a butane torch though. Lots of uses for those. Lol

Spar urethane will not set on cocobolo, nothing will set on cocobolo other than a chemically hardened finish like epoxy,

Well I did try the cocobolo with Spar Urethane and guess what happened....lol it didn't work..still sticky..The Spar worked great on my Cherry wood....So anyways.....I will just have to get the Epoxy that works....Thanks again

New question.....I have been doing the Super Glue route......inbetween the sanding and application.....should I wipe down with acetone or water? or just dust?
The wash coating is finished just need to know whats next as far as the sanding and cleanup for the next stage.

Tim, I believe, repeat believe, based on my experience with polyurethane, that you apply, let dry, sand, wipe with a tack cloth or microfiber (what I use with poly), repeat.

Check this thread by Glen/gssixgun for a CA tutorial. No acetone except before the very first coat, even then not always necessary.

Alright thats what I thought.....but I wanted to be sure....I already printed out the CA Super glue pages.....Didn't know if there was a difference with the others.
Thanks Again
