Thread: Pink Acrylic needed - help

When you say white, I take it you mean transparent white? Opaque white wouldn't let any colour through.

Does the colour diffuse through the whole blank in that case, or is it a coloured middle & white outer?

In my case it was a white pearlescent blank, but in the OP case where no swirls are desired then I guess a more even white would be better. It would only work if you were leaving the acrylic fairly thin. A slimline turned straight with approx 1mm of acrylic thickness will show through the underlying colour pretty well, even in a fairly opaque blank, just because it is so thin. IMO even the opaque colours start to become quite translucent if they are thin enough.

Russell and everybody
thanks for all your help and offerings and opinions
She's decided that she doesn't need a pen at the moment bugger
No doubt in 3 weeks time it'll be urgent and I'll have to produce an exquisite pen within a day or two
In any event the ideas have been eye opening and I hope somewhat useful to others

cheers

Cool,

That means I get to make two resin pens while I'm home for the weekend :P

Now just to decide - Sierra, Streamline or Executive? Decisions, decisions...

Russell
great effort
I'm not a pink person but that looks good
I'll show her on Wednesday - I think I gave her the day off tomorrow

Well, my son saw it, and loves pink - which I have no problem with - and asked if he could have it, so I said yes. It matches his Nintendo DS colours anyway
