Blue Tear Drop Long Click

[Penl8the]

This is the result of some left over white PR from a previous casting (http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=79565). I always mixed too much PR for whatever I was casting.

I used a simple inexpensive a mold this time - a 3/4" PVC pipe. Sprayed a small amount of mold release (10 parts of mineral spirit, and 1 part of melted Vaseline) inside the PVC pipe. Shook off the extra excess of mold release. Taped the bottom a the PVC pipe with duct tape.

Poured the white PR in the PVC pipe. Waited about 10 minutes. Meanwhile mixed up a small amount of PR with blue pigment dye. Tilted the PVC pipe slightly and poured the blue PR in the PVC.

Here is my blue tear drop long click pen. I like it.

Thanks for looking. Comments are welcome.
