Decides to try a stamp pen. Got 500 old stamps off eBay for $5! Yay!! Anywho, turned a maple blank and glued the stamps on with some Hodge Podge. Let it dry a couple hours, and coated the outside with 3 coats of HP and let the whole thing dry about 6 hours... At that point I put 3 coats of thin CA (about 15 minutes apart, no accelerator) and let it cure overnight. Applied stick fast (using their recommended 3 light, 4 medium, accelerator between each coat). Used their polish compounds and everything looked great. I let it set for about an hour before assembly (wanted to make sure finish I was good). Assembly went perfect, pen looked awesome! Now 4-5 hours later... It has cracked in the finish, not really a broken glass look, like 20-30 cracks. Like you can feel them they are so distinct. Tried taking a pic, but its kinda blurry.
Thanks in advance!
