CA glue issue

[GrahamRounce]

Hi - I tried CA (super-) glue on a small 1/2" diameter piece of walnut on the lathe, and it worked very well with just one coat.
But on a larger piece, it soaked in in places, dried too quickly in others, and generally made a mess which had to be sanded off.
An "accelerator" is often recommended for between coats, though slow drying isn't an issue for me, but is there such a thing as a "decelerator"? Or, how can I make it work?
Thanks,

I'd apply a wash coat of shellac before applying the CA.

Take care to have good extraction and skin protection if using quantities of CA.

If you suddenly start having facial histamine reactions (head cold/puffy eyes/runny nose like symptoms) stop the exposure.

You can actually buy slow set CA try a model aircraft shop.
