I received some good advice here in response to my first turned pen, an acrylic. I was told that it would look better if the tube was painted since they show through when using acrylics.
I went out and bought some hobby spray paint for metals in various colors, but on a couple of my insertions, the tube stuck during my dry-run and I noticed that the paint had rubbed off also.
I really prefer using the spray paint as I can put several tubes on a dowel an spray them all together. Is there anyone out there using a spray paint that adheres better to copper? I did sand the tubes before painting... Perhaps I should use a primer spray instead of a finish spray?
Thanks in advance!
