Hi everyone. This was my first attempt at an acrylic pen and I am happy with the results:
I used a Pen Maker's Choice pen blank and Apprentice Classica kit from Craft Supplies USA. I sanded it up to 12,000 grit with micro pads and also used plastic polish.
As you can see in the photo, the brass tube does show through a bit on the finished product. Any tips on how to avoid that?
Also, I did use thick super glue gel to secure the brass tube to the pen blank and it seemed to work fine but I did worry that epoxy would have been better with the acrylic.
All comments welcome. Thanks for looking!
