Default Finishing outside the box

I can't imagine that being a satisfactory long term solution to finishing. No abrasion resistance, no UV (or even light) resistance, no idea of what the long term effects of full exposure to the elements will do the finish. Open to the air instead of hidden in a joint, will it get hard, then brittle? Will it yellow or muddy?

If I was going to do that I would wipe some lacquer from a dauber or use a polyurethane conversion product.

I used super glue as a pen finish for a while, but found it unsatisfactory. Plenty of other home brews out there that worked better.


Glue is designed to glue, finish to finish. Switching them around never
sounded good to me. If it was a good idea, glue makers or finish makers
would perfect it and sell it as a finish with known results. They
probably already have.
