    Default Pen Like the Irish Flag

    Hi
    im making an experimental Irish pen for a group of crazy Irish mates at work ....

    They want the Irish flag going horizontally down .. Green, white, and orange.

    Its hard to get plain green and orange and especially similar to the Irish flag ..

    Is is casting using pearlx the way to go ... Rotate this pic 90 degrees

    The range of solid pigments supplied by Nuplex can be used to mix that green and orange very easily. Cast them individually then cut and glue the 3 colours to make exactly what you want.

    Using Pearlex as you show in your second picture won't look anything like your first picture.

    As Fred says you need solid pigment, or alternatively use a label.

    I have heaps of pigments so if you want to come around with some resin/catalyst we can cast something up
