    Default Glen 20 Sierra

    First I have to say sorry about the rough photos. Here is some home spalted Mango on a Sierra finished with 20 coats of CA using Glen 20 Country Scent. One thing I have to say if that is the scent of the country, I stood in some cow ####, that stuff stinks. I don't do the drip method like David does, I still lay a bead of CA on the paper towel. Took a couple of goes to learn the right amount of CA to dissolve the white spots that you get using Glen 20. Also I control the pressure I spray and this gives a fine mist instead of sharp burst of Glen 20. Once again sorry about the photos but do better ones when i get more time.

    Cheers
    Darren

    Hi Bdar been busy and not time to experiment too much with the glen 20 option , I did try one recently and it turned out ok , I noticed the whitening after application ,but it appeared to be surface only ,a quick polish with a clean wipe removed it ready for the next coat of CA that seemed to stop it getting locked in to the finish ,well that was my experience at least , cheers John ,Nice work on the pen By the way hehe
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    Very nice. I have 1 go but it left white dots so i gave up and went back to my old way.
    Well done
    Cheers Rum Pig

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
