Wondering if there are any experts here that can point me in the right direction:
I've got a Semogue 1438 that I really like and want to last for a good long while. I dropped it in the sink and chipped the paint pretty good, which I've read is common place with Semogue brushes. I wanted to repair it to protect the underlying wood, so figured I'd try a CA finish/patch job as I've read it's waterproof and compatible with most other finishes. Making it look pretty is not a priority (at least for now), just want to get it protected.
However, when I tried to drip some CA on and spread it over the base, it seems to act as a solvent and 'dissolve' the existing paint, so it smeared a whole lot of red paint onto my rag and added noticeable 'brush' strokes from the rag into the paint. Any advice on how to fix this up?
Is there a better alternative, perhaps some 2-part epoxy? Or should I try the CA again and try to get it smooth as quick as possible (the first time it sat for a about 15 sec before I smeared it all around).
Thanks
