Superglue as a finish?

[AcridSaint]

As far as I know, he uses the "very thin" viscosity glue. That's the only way to be sure that you get a good seal on some woods. I originally found out about his methods from a post on Knet several years ago and asked him to expand on it for me when I visited him. He uses cotton squares to apply the CA, wears rubber gloves and works outdoors.

I dug up one of the old posts from knet, this is not mine:

Here is how Scott Slobodian does it:
Forget the toothpick for spreding...use Webril wipes...4x4 cotton squares
available at photo stores (good ones). They act as a wick and keep the glue
from setting up in the pad. Pad on lots of coats of the thin glue.
Occasionally use an accelorator to speed up setting. Block sand out with 400
- 1200 grit and polish by hand with Final Cut...an automotive compound for
final rubout of car paint. Do not use thicker glue...it will not set up
evenly and you will end up with ridges. You do need lots of coats...as much
as 50. Wear rubber gloves and do it outside to avoid the vapors. If you end
up doing much of this...let me know and I can reccomend a wholesale
supplier...direct from Japan (shipped in the US). Scott Slobodian...the guy
who invented the technique.

TekSec,
Would that be the Super Thin or the Gap Filling Insta-cure your referring to? I used the hardware store super-glue to stabilize a white tail deer handle and I see what you mean about not getting down into the cracks as it is thick.

Thanks

Yep, the super thin works the best for me.

In reference to stabilized wood, you shouldn't need it for an over coat, but I'm sure it would work. Just keep the layers thin.
