Now that is orange, nice John.
I would like to know how it holds up down the road. The feedback from Poly clay pens,
is they did not hold up very well.

Skye l used two 2g tubes of Pasco Super Glue and blo not sure how many coats l did. And L sanded to 12mm every 3or4 coats'.l made a test pen and droped it on the concret a few times it didnt break!so l thru the pen realy hard on to the concret to get it to break! lam trying differrent finishes it see what holds up best.[]
also my grand daughter put her new pen in a pen bag with all her other pens so l dont think its going to get any special care.

Well, one thing people here are talking about is the clay tends to get 'tacky' when it mixes with the oil in the hands. I think a CA finish would solve that though. So, dont go breaking them all! lol
