Hi People,
Watching all you experts has created an urge in me to try some "On-tube" casting. I'm not sure that the "Urge" will continue, after having a FEW failures.
These are some of the better ones, and even these have flaws. My biggest problem is adhesion of the resin to the decorative material.
I did attempt a variety of pre-finishes before the casts, and I think that there may have been a heat problem with some of them when finishing??:redface:
The effect I was trying to achieve could not be done, the material had fabulous refraction while flat but as soon as it was wrapped around the tube most of the refraction was lost. However one of the Sierra pens did work. photos 5 and 6 are the same pen.
I would really like to have some feed back, please.
C & C welcome, and thanks for looking.
