Has anyone ever tried UV Epoxy finishes for pens? I know a TON of cuemakers that use the stuff religiously.
The really nice thing about it is that you can spray it on fairly evenly, and then after you hit it with UV light for about 10-14 seconds, it is COMPLETELY cured!
One of my local Cuemakers, and friends, is going to let me try using his booth on some of my pen blanks. The only problem is that his booth is set up for the length of a pool cue.
I am in the process of making a mandrel that is the same length as a pool cue shaft that I can put 10 or so blanks on. Then we'll give it a whirl and I'll post some results...
