Where I worked as a photographer I brought heaps of my gear in and used it for me and work the stocktakes were done randomly and usually on a weekend by auditors because some of my gear was in the same family they included it on the sheets had a battle separating my stuff had to have it specially marked by them. Just saying be aware mate. I was the only operator in this unit.

Looking at everybody's work I think to myself I will have to get better, I would just love to be that good.
Having said that, I am kind of pleased at my efforts.
I do have a small irritating problem when I use a super glue finish, I always end up with small blobs of the stuff at the ends.
Need more practise.
Thanks to everybody for your comments.

It sounds like you are putting too much CA glue on at one time and it is being thrown by centrifugal force into little blobs that you are finding, you will probably also see the CA flying off the blank as well, put less CA on and make sure you spread it well and quickly.

CA finishes can be a nightmare until you get used to it :sob:
I could never get it right, then one day it just clicked :thumbs:
