We had a demo on finishing at my woodturning club yesterday. The guy who gave it is a retired professional furniture refinisher.
He did one project with CA. Between applications he sanded with 120 grit, rubbed with 'rubbing oil' added another app. of CA, etc. for about four coats. Beautiful and only took a few minutes.
Then he did two bowls. Both were first sealed with sanding sealer then a couple coats of lacquer, then rubbed with 'rubbing oil' more lacquer, etc.
They only took a few minutes each and he was passing them around to be looked at. Great finishes and dry.
He uses Mohawk products. He will be ordering in discount quantities for club members to buy. He says they are the best anywhere and what he used professionally for many years.
I had never heard of rubbing oil but it works.
