After countless mistakes and difficulties turning Christmas presents this year, I am finally somewhat confident in my ability to turn small useless objects (pens, darts, etc). I'm still not happy with my finishes at all though. I've been using John's CA method and everything looks really nice and shiny until about the time I complete assembly. I'm willing to spend the time it takes to get a quality finish but evidently don't know how! Any advice or alternate finishes/techniques would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
