Filling cracks question.

Adam,

I do not know what techinique you are using but based on my eforts and I am guessing a little but I would sugest that you are too close, I keep around 0.5m away and give it the smallest puff you can. For larger areas such as your finial try three small puffs. I do not aim the spray directly at the workpiece I aim above it and let the mist settle on the revolving piece.

Appologies if this is egg sucking lessons.

I always use the thin CA, I have had white patches with the thicker stuff.

Great advice Fester, i'll take it all on board, especially the thinner CA tip..... where i live it's not easy to buy 'specialist' items like that though, we have to make do with the basic things we have available....... cheers

I keep forgetting that people cannot read my mind - I must learn to be more specific.

The only place local to me that sells the accelerator does so as part of a Mitre Jointing kit in which you get an aerosol of the accelerator and a bottle of thick superglue. I put this "thick" superglue at the back of a cupboard.

I do not use 'specialist' superglue specifically labelled "thin" I just buy the regular superglue from Wilko's or the pound shop that is significantly thinner than the stuff in the kit.

All we have here is a low quality China bazar, they have Superglue cheap, it's about medium I'm guessing, seems to work well.
