I tell you what I can vouch for as pretty good stuff and that is the Liquid Diamonds it really is clear and so close to being like water that it's not funny. But takes a while to go off properly.

Gab,
Nice castings.
Let me know how the pencil cast works as I made a small box with casted pencils and I had some trouble with the exposed coloured lead in the pencils when they were exposed.

I was told by someone who has done a few of the pencil pens that it is wise to use plenty of CA as you are turning them, otherwise bits will fling out.

Ok, bit of a follow up
finally got round to turning one of these blanks. I love how it turned out.....
Sorry about the photography but (as always) I'm in a mad rush with life so couldn't do the whole setup
C& C welcome
Cheers
Gab

I love the way the black highlights the wood.

That's come up really nicely and the contrast between the blue and the other colours just sets it off.
Is that a CA finish?Dallas
