OK, I have made a couple of pens that came out OK.
I have a couple of questions that I hope someone here may be able to help me with.
One is, I bought some of the Polaris kits from PSI and I forgot the bushings. I have seen what appears to be the same kit on other sites with names like Altas at Berea and Patriot at Craft Supply. Are the bushings for these going to be the same if I by from someone other then PSI?
Second one, I have been trying out the CA BLO finish. I have a small problem with and and wonder what people are doing to get around it. I turn the pen down the the bushings and then put on the CA BLO and it glues the pen to the bushings. Taking the bushing off the pen has damaged the wood on the ends where the tube gets glued. What methods are you using to keep this from happening?
Third, I am interested in the Inlace type products, what alternatives are there to this product and what size granules work best for pens?
Thanks, I have already learned much from reading the posts on this forum.
