I use the Hot Stuff from Lee Valley although there are other sources for CA
around. LV also has the accelerator and the solvent. The solvent comes in
real handy when you find your fingers stuck to the bowl. Not a great
experience even though it gives your wife hour's of enjoyment relating the
tale at parties.

CA comes in various "thicknesses". The usual stuff you see is thin but there
is a medium and thick as well which can be handy.

After filling cracks with Ca, the surrounding wood becomes saturated
also.
Anybody have a solution. Maybe coating the area around the crack with
something that can be easily be removed later.


Of course, the best thing to do is to run CA into the crack before you
take
the final passes with gouge or paper. The capillary draw into the crack
will be much greater than the draw into the grain of the wood, especially
if
the wood is cool. You can also help your cause by spritzing the
accelerator
on the area prior to using the CA. More rapid cure will keep the
penetration low on the surface, while still allowing good capillary draw.
It also helps to spritz the opposite side so you won't have problems with
leakage when you start spinning again.
