What solutions are there for seeing brass tubes through acrylics? I know CUSA has specials tubes, but they're expensive- and out of stock. There's a tutorial here about tarnishing them with Blackit, but the website it references is gone and I can't find any place with blackit on Google. Also, making the tubes black would only help with the dark colored acrylics. What about painting the tubes? Would that be viable, or would if affect the tube's adhesion to the blank? What about using a sharpie to make the tube black? Again, would that affect it's adhesion to the blank? What do you all do? One of my designs for the cigar pen get's fairly close to the tube, so I can see this being an issue as I do more and more acrylics.
Thanks!
