    Great job Ian, you must be happy with that. How'd you go with air pockets in the mould? Be interested in your process.

    Hey sjt

    Thanks mate I am over the moon with the pen, as for air pockets I had hardly any only some surface bubbles mate that was it.I just painted the tube white then glued the shedded skin on to the tube and the casted in the mold with no pressure thats how I done it

    Hey John

    Thanks It is for me and I would find it hard to part with I have try a couple of time before this one but they both failed so to have this one turn out was awesome now all I need to do is get her name engraved onto the clip and I all ready have a customer order for some made from pet snakes shedded skin

    Het sturina

    thanks mate

    Ian
