Gold Leaf Acrylic

[KDM]

When I received my PITH from DurocShark, he'd also enclosed a couple of gold-leaf acrylics. I couldn't wait to get started on them. So much so that I forgot to photograph the blank!!

My wife has already appropriated this one.

Interesting blank. I like it and great skills on the pen.

...at least, ithink it's acrylic. It smells different to polyester. I've seen folk use "PR" and "acrylic" interchangably, but I think they're chemically different. Can anyone clarify?

Acrylic, Polyresin (PR) and Alumilite are all different from each other.

PR and Alumilite can be made in your kitchen.

Acrylic requires pressure that is not possible at home. This is a commercial product.


BTW, they each have their own turning characteristics, as well.
