Paul Hannaby:
Personally I dislike CA as a finish and would never use it.

I make pens from time to time and generally finish with danish oil. I apply the oil and immediately buff/burnish with kitchen paper towel and reapply/repeat a few times. This gives a high sheen finish which is what I like and use over time improves the finish rather than wearing it off.

Bill21:
A CA finish goes right into the wood, it won’t wear off.

I don't do pens and don't use CA glue as a finish but using it for kinsugi effects I need to seal the wood first as it soaks deep into the wood and stains it.
