Six color Alumilite pour

[evan bahr]

This pen blank was inspired by Brooks803 when he posted a seven color Alumilite blank. This is a six color blank that I just barely got poured before it began to cure! I don't know how he did 7 colors! C & C welcome.

Very nice. Want to sell some blanks?

He probably had help mixing some of them at the same time as well as pouring them?

Should work well with PR. Would be enough time with Mama and one of the kiddows helping out.

Looks like an ink blot the shrink gives somebody. I see the back end of a horse, triangular tic, moose with no legs, west coast of Africa. Very cool.

Looks great Evan! Yeah 7 can be tricky, but I've improved on that number since then :wink:. Come on over and I'll show ya a trick or two.

Alumilite now has a product that is called "Alumilite Clear, Slow Set. Instead of a 7 minute open time it goes all the way up to 12 minutes, plenty of time to do 6-7 or more color pour. Give it a go. I love the stuff!

Thanks for the info. What is your source? Evan

You can get it from alumilite. I personally don't like it. It cures a little different. I've got a 32oz set here Evan if you want it to try out.

You guys pouring 6-7 or more colors are masochists. 5 is my record, and I don't even want to try that again, let alone more.

That is a beautiful pen & blank though. Great job! :good:

Thanks for the offer. If I ever get a chance to get over to see your set up and you still have it I will be glad to give it a try. Evan

What is it that you don't like. I have to order a new batch soon, I am finally almost through my first batch and I am starting to do a lot more casting. I was considering to try the Clear(Slow) because of the open time. It costs me $25 cdn more and the company has to order it in.

I am currently using Clear. When I ordered it, I had ordered Water Clear. However, after a couple of pours where I was scrambling, I realized it was Clear. It works great (when you don't accidently double pour the A-side....doh) but I would like to have a longer open time.

I am also going to be doing larger pours, 3-4" blanks.

Thanks
