Hey Steve. What you described can be done. Here is an example.

Unfortunately I've never done any casting, so I can't be of any help. I'm sure someone here will be able to point you in the right direction, though.

If you go into the IAP library under the casting section there is a tutorial on label casting, which is what you are looking for. I have also linked to it below. There are also other tutorials on casting resin around pen tubes. If you have any questions feel free to message me, I have done several of these myself. http://content.penturners.org/library/pen_blanks/label_casting.pdf
