Good day gentlemen,
Do any of you know where to purchase a polyurethane gel finish product? I've been having difficulty coming up with a consistent finish using CA glue. The CA does work wonderful, when it works for me; but I'd like to broaden my experience with various finishes. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The trick to CA finishing is using the correct product (thickness) and a good sanding between coats. I will use a 400grit to knock down high spots and then to 800, 1500, 2000 gt and a final polish with plastic polish on the lathe. This whole process on a normal fly handle is only 30 min or so.
Best of luck, Eric Re: polyurethane gel finishing product

Petr gel urethane is great and I love it but if you are looking for a High Gloss finish, it doesn't give one Mike (Southgate, MI) If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!! Re: polyurethane gel finishing product

bill, there is not a gloss in the gel. the gel has flatteners in it and has a satin finish. it can be built up for a glossier finish, but it will never be high gloss Re: polyurethane gel finishing product
