I would like to make a two-barrel pen using Casein, and I would like to polish to a high gloss if this is possible.
My internet research suggests that this should be possible.
Just wondering if anyone has done this and can suggest a method.
My usual approach for acrylics is to sand/micromesh to the highest grit, and then polish in 4 steps using: (1) Mequiar's automobile fine scratch remover, (2) Novus 3 acrylic polish, (3) Novus 2 acrylic polish, and, finally (4) Meguiar's Plastix.
I sometimes leave out step (1), depending on the surface quality after the sand/micromesh stage.
Any suggestions, including a totally different approach that works, would be greatly appreciated.
Also, can a more glossy finish result if I use several layers of CA after the lathe-work.
I have never used Casein before. Thanks.
