Hey guys!
I had a question about finishing a segmented pen I'm working on. The segment includes maple wood and alumilite resin. When I first started using alumilite, I was awful at finishing the blank so I coated it in Stickfast CA glue to get a good shine. These looked great... for a few months. Over time I've noticed bubbles forming on the pens that received this treatment.
What are some recommendations you have for finishing these types of pens with wood and alumilite? Ideally I'd like to coat the wood in CA so I can apply a decal to the wood. Are there other types of CA out there that won't react with alumilite?
