I'm in the process of turning some pens for the Troops. Several of the pens I'm using Corian for the barrels but I want to dress them up a little by adding trim rings.
The process I've used before for some trim rings on wood has been to turn the barrel round down to a little proud of the bushings and then with a parting tool cut thin grooves down to the brass tube, then pack stone dust or colored powders in small amounts into the groove and then locking it in with thin CA. Then complete the turning to finished size.
Will this work and hold up with Corian? This works well with wood but not sure about the bond between the CA and Corian. Any help would be appreciated.
