Ghost

[yorkie]

I am addicted to this polyresin!! But I have yet to figure out how to get it perfect. I've tried painting my own tubes and then using pre-painted white tubes as it is almost transparent.
The acrylic is called 'Ghost' and 'color shifts' to purple magenta when you rotate it. It is very, very cool! I matched it up with a Silver Tycoon/Baron.

I'm still not 100% happy with it as you can see where the glue is on the tubes. I may revers-paint the next one and then use pre-painted white in addition. It is an amazing acrylic, guys!

It looks good from this side. if you use two part epoxy and mix in some white powder coat pigment that might help.

Even some white PR colorant/dye will work wonders, only takes a tiny tiny amount and won't mess with the cure time, you can get it any where they sell casting resin, like Michale's or Hobby Lobby or get one ounce containers from US composites for about 3.95 a piece. if you are mixing your own PR get the dyes from US composites.

Pens look great. Reverse painting will hide the glue better than anything else because it prevents the glue from being seen in the first place.

I have one of those blanks, so you experiment and let me know. The pen is great looking

Love the blank. Great pen

I think the solid colors look classic and timeless. Great job. Painting the blank before gluing tubes would hide anything underneath.
