did a little 50mil mix on sunday and poured one blank in one of those blue ice cube try things ( woolies ) .
anyway only made the one blank and it never looked all that good when it was cured but i ran a 7mm drill through it and fitted the tubes not much of a blank i thought just make a cheepy out of it , turned it and never stopped the lathe untill it was finished polished up and all , then when i stopped the lathe got a pleasant supprise , i love it .
now can i repeat that pour and make some more , i doubt it .

funny how a little success inspires you , after turning that pen it gave me the urge to pour another , so i ripped up to the shed ( with water bottle in hand its about a zillion degree's in there ) anyway mixed up 2 x 50ml lots of resin with a yellow or gold pearlex in one and a deep redish ( can't remember the colour names ) in the other then dribbled then into 2 ( gone bigtime now ) ice cube moulds with nothing in particular in mind but once the resin was in the moulds i thought now they are brisbane broncos pens so we will see what happens when they cure .
this is exciting :U

Texx keep a close eye on the greening in these temps I have seen self ignition or resins that was in the middle of a large workshop about this time of year. Smoke at first mix box was to hot to pick p so used a shovel thats when flames came, thank goodness it wasn't on the pile of 40ft floor ply that had just been delivered.

Well done mate!!! :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

The second lot look just fine.


Not pressure pot? No vacuum pot?

No bubbles? What resin?

i have found if they look good as a blank, then they look awesome as a pen

i reckon you have a couple of awesome pens in the making
