Thanks boys and girls for the kind words. The "ball" part is white polymer clay. After seeing and making the baseball and football pens I thought, why not a golf ball? It took a while but I figured out that it had to be done by hand rather than a mould, or at least for me it did. I turned a 1/2 x 1/2 strip of Corian to form a "dimpler" and had to redo that several times before the size was correct. I cover the brass tube, that's been sanded, with the PC, roll it smooth and then, wearing magnifier glasses, I start dimpling till it's covered. Takes between 150 and 160 dimples. I do it in rows radially off setting like bowling pins are lined up. I put it on the lathe and apply 2 coats of thin CA and when dry apply the slip off decal. I let it dry overnight, cause it was getting late, and then apply 4 or 5 more coats of thin CA. No sanding or buffing, just the CA. It came out just as I had hoped (after 4 days of doing it and tearing it off and doing it again). Give it a shot. These should sell but be careful with the trademarked names you use.
