You're asking yourself what is he talking about? quite often when I have built pens in the softer pearl colours for the ladies & it calls from the diameter of the blanks to become quite thin I have an occasional problem of the clear translucent blanks showing up the tubes under them. Now before you start suggesting that I paint the tubes to prevent the brass colour from showing, I already do that, in fact I think I carry it a bit too far by applying a primer first, then painting the tubes the appropriate colours according to the blanks..eg: pink pearls get pink paint according to the right tint or shade, the same for blue, yellow,,, On some of the blanks where there is very little "meat" left on them after turning, I will paint the inside of the drilled blank before glueing in the brass tube.
Now I hate to think that perhaps some of these blanks might be considered warranty issue due to the lack of colour in the blank, but I do get a bit perplexed on thinking of new solutions on how to remedy this...
So are there any others out there that are encountering this situation, & what is your solution......
