Kitless Black and White Pearl Acrylic with Special Finial

[anthonyd]

Hi Everyone,

This is another kitless pen in black and white pearl acrylic. It has a Schmidt # 5 nib (7.7 mm shoulder). I have also added two wide aluminum bands and a special finial. Unfortunately, the material is very translucent and the epoxy I used to glue the tennon with the bands into the cap shows through as a sickly yellow discolouration which can be seen on some of the photos. All comments are welcome as they will help me to improve my designs.

Really sharp pen. The finish is really nice and the bands look great on it.

Thanks for the lead on the Araldite. I will try and get some and see if it helps.

Thanks Chuck. I have about five different finials that I am going to use on my next few pens.

Thanks Ron. I like how the bands turned out but I think they are placed too high. I will try a lower placement on my next pen.

Epoxy 330 is also water clear if you cant find the other stuff.

That was going to be my suggestion. Even with that, it's a beautiful piece.
