I finish the second PC pen. This is the one that my daughter rolled and twisted the blank. I was afraid that the Poly Clay was not work enough and that it would cause the blanks to blowout, but they didn't.
Here is another tip, if you decide to turn the PC. Stop every few minutes to let the clay cool. Even though it is cured in an oven, it will get soft when heated. Turning is not bad, but when you sand, wet sand and give a few minutes once it heats up.
Also before you get to close to the bushings, remove the blank and put a little thin CA on the ends. (Make sure it doesn't go into the tube. DAMHIKT)
