I am trying to make a Stretch pen (kit from Lau Lau Woodworks) using pearly white acrylic. I am having trouble getting it done with no brass tube showing. I've painted the tube white, painted the inside of the drilled blank, used fumed silica (white, mixed with my epoxy) but I still find that there is a spot or two where the paint got nicked inserting the tube and I can see brass. My last try the spot is right at the end of the tube. I'm wondering if I could shorten the tube by about 1/16" or 1/8", cut off the spot, would the pen still work?
