I made my first pen label castings this past weekend. Fred Wissen was a world of help for my project. I made a total of 8 blanks and they came out great.
I'm not new to turning but have only turned half a dozen pens with wood blanks. The last couple looked great after I got better with GluBoost finish.
I have found on the wood blanks a skew has worked well. I have turned some acrylic and delrin and found a round carbide negative rake cutter worked the best. Is this the best tool for Alumilite?
For finishing I have seen sanding, wet sanding, plastic scratch remover, and even GluBoost. Can experience pen turners please share there processes?
Thanks
Mike
