alumilite

Ok, I'm desperate! I have made several hybrid pen blanks with worthless wood alumilite clear (with dye added). I have orders for about 10 of these and can not get a good polish on the alumilite. I have found very little on the web, and even called alumilte. They refered me to their FAQs that...

Folks, A bit new at casting, but having a blast working the process and coming up with mixes I like. My problem is I am in NH working in my unheated basement and am not getting the cures with Aluminite Clear I'd like. Can anyone point me to a list or list some of the tricks of...

Well, tonight I finished the last step in completing 20 pens that will be given as speaker's gifts at an upcoming Knowledge Management conference in Houston. I could not have completed this without lots of reading, asking questions and getting some great tips and advice from the members here...

I have done a little bit of research on here about casting cholla and done a few successfully using Silmar 41. I love the way Curtis' blanks turn though and after watching his videos I thought I would give Alumilite a try. I first used some Alumilite regular just because I had some available...

Here is proof I still turn pens. Its a "Stripes" blank, pearl base with gold stripes on a Sterling Silver Cambridge kit, sanded to 12000mm then Novus 2.

Hi, Here are my first videos on casting snake skin. I am a total beginner so I thought newbies can probably learn from my mistake as much as success of other members here. Any helpful comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please note that I couldn't have even started...

This is one of my "Texas Collection" resin blanks. It is made with an ivory resin base with red and blue bits & pieces of Texas throughout the blank with a CA finish. It is on a Triton kit from Beartooth Woods. Wadayathink?

I would like to try doing alumilite, but I can't seem to find the best place to purchase it at a good price. Any and all help would be appreciated. I hope this is the right place to ask about it. Al

I have been using PR to cast pen blanks, and I'm really tired of the smell. Does anyone know if you can use the luster pigments with alumilite? Thanks.

This is one of two pens I'm making for a customer that sent me a baggie full of emeralds. I glued the stones onto the tube after I painted it with ivory spray paint. Cast in alumilite on a Wallstreet III. Thanks for looking and especially to those that comment.

It's been awhile since I posted a pen because I haven't done anything new. Well, here are two firsts for me, my first Zen and my first casting a piece of burl with alumilite. I think it's red mallee on a black Ti Zen. Hole and tube are painted black. Thanks for looking and a special thanks for...

Folks, after a week out of the shop I got this done this morning. It is a Gold Churchill (from Ernie at Beartooth Woods). The blanks is Canary wood with Blue Swirly Resin; with a CA finish. Both pics are of the same pen at different angles. (sorry about the background but didn't have my tent...
