Why not just use West with 207 hardener?manwon said:

Joey, the point I was making is that I use it for finish, and this method of application makes super glue an alternative to other finish. Many people think that super glue is this or that however, most of the negative things people find wrong with it are because they do not know how to apply it properly. Along with the mis-information about the supposed Cyanide gas released as it drys. This substance is no more dangerous than any of the other chemicals cue makers use daily. I will say though that with all chemicals it must be handled properly, with good ventilation.
I have never done a hardness rating on West with 207 or super glue however they are both very hard. I do currently use West with 206 for rings, joint collars, butt caps, the A-joint and all other internal connections it is really great stuff.

Yes, the last coat before the finish is CA. I start with the concotion to pop the grain and then CA, concotion and on and on until I am satisfied. I sand the CA coat every now and then. Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 coats to fill and level everything. However, I do not spray my finish.

I know a guy that used this stuff as a base coat before spraying auto clear.
There are new flexable Ca's out there now. These are a gel type of Ca not thin like the hot stuff, but not as thick as the gel Ca.
We use it as a top coat over fibre glass on toy planes. We use the flexable Ca as it is lighter than epoxy and is not brittle like normal Ca's.
It has not yellowed yet, but is only 9 months old.
The flexable Ca is stable on top of epoxy and does not crack due to the tailplane movement.
I have used this on the finish of 1 cue , and so far looks good.
There are also low odour Ca's available. But I use them in a vented area so there is no imediate problem.
I use about 120 rpm when aplying the Ca. The cure time is longer in colder conditions with low humidity. High humidity sets it off quicker.
The finish is as good as you want to polish it.
Who knows , in 10 years time it might need to be refinished. That is what happens when you are dealing with new product.
