Hi I am going to try "finishing" a few pens with Superglue instead of Crystal Clear and and interested if anyone can suggest a Accelerator. I am going shopping tomorrow and thought I would ask to see if anyone can recommend any pustular brand. The CA I was going to use is Titebond Medium or again if you know of a better product please let me know. :thumbs:

I use the accelerator that comes with e Toolstation Mitre bond. Just a warning - if you're heavy-handed with the stuff it can cause the CA to crystallise and go white, which is a bummer if you're filling indentations or cracks. Be sparing and exercise a little patience. Do as I say, not as I do, in other words! :funny:

This is why I don't like Accelerator, this happened to me a number of times before found out what caused it. :nonono:
