Very Nicely Done Leonardo!

How did you do the cap finial on the Mage-Mini?

How did you do the cap finial on the Mage-Mini?

Thanks David! I cast the runes directly into the ends of my blanks. I then fill in the runes with pigmented epoxy and back into pressure pot. Once they are fully cured I use that end of the blank for the finial, turn and polish as normal.

It takes a little extra finesse as the epoxy can chip out if cut too aggressively, and sometimes I add a CA layer to seal everything and make it even.

Here's a look at the runes without infill. I am planning to add more designs. Some work better than others.

Thank you. The pic with the all black background is just white light, and then the same pen under blacklight. It has both neon and glow in the dark pigments, which both pop under blacklight. The green at the tip is out of the blacklight and shows the color that it glows.
