    Default pen from 2nd casting

    this is the second casting i did , it was cast straight after i did the yellow and blue one on sunday.
    i cast only 2 blanks of these not a slab ,in one of those blue ice cube mould things from woolies
    could call it strawberry and cream or could call it saints dragons pen.

    Sydney swans pen - I needed that blank about 6 months ago for someone's birthday

    Nice

    But the big question is "can you do it again?"

    Yeah, you got to watch some of that stuff in Bunnings, it has a habit of doing that.

    Well if you really are hooked, buying from Bunnings is an expensive way to go for resin.

    Good job on the pens, just have to work on getting the mix even all over.
