1ST PR Cast-The Galaxy!!!

[Rounder]

Here is my first cast with PR. I used the Castin Craft from Micheal's. It was colored with Richart Dust Free Black Powder Paint and Stampendous Red Dragon Embossing Powder, also from Micheal's. I made an aluminum foil form by wrapping it around a round piece of wood. Mixed the color and glitter in the PR, then added catalyst and poured away. It is on a PSI Trimline Twist, Gun Metal. I think I like it. I was going to call it starry starry night but the wife suggested galaxy and I even liked that better. Sanded from 600 to 12000 dry then 1500 to 12000 wet, Novus #2 Fine Scratch remover then Renaissance Polish. It did show me why you need to paint the tubes. You can see the tube toward the nib end. I will know better next time. All critiques welcome.

Nice one Dad! It does look just like space. I think starry night sounds better but you know MOM is always right:biggrin: so go with what the boss says. Nice one though. I guess i need to catch up And even though i normally dont like center bands on slimelines, this one looks exceptional. You fit and finish looks superb to. Great job!!

Beautiful pen.

How much was the resin at Micheals?...When I went to looking for resin it was a priced pretty high in Canada. $35 or $40 a quart.
