Hello
Been thinking about this casting caper whilst driving along, and there are a couple of things that I can't work out.
I saw a pic of a pen that someone did using cast coffee beans. The beans looked liked that had met with the skew in the process of bringing the blank down to size. If this is so, how do you reseal the blank after turning. My initial thought was it would reseal if you used CA as a finish, but if you don't use CA, how do you seal the blank again.
The same question could be applied to any thing that doesn't hug the tube enough to stay under the PR when turned to size.
Or am I on the complete wrong track.
Thanks
