I'ma just let Brooks explain this one....

The blank was interesting, a bit challenging to turn. The voids were not unexpected, and I did fill most of them. A couple got away from me. If there's a way to use a thinner, more viscous PR blend it'd probably work out pretty well.

Wow, Allen! You must have sped home from the meeting and worked through supper to get that one finished. I remember looking at that blank, or one similar. Looked too tough to handle to me, so I passed on that one. Just goes to show you can cast almost anything in PR, even the kitchen sink pads. Good work.

....thinner, more viscous PR blend

Very nice looking pen Allen.

Not a kitchen sink pad, believe it or not. And it looked tough, but I was pretty obsessed with seeing the inside of it. And LESS viscous would have been appropriate here. I had my definition backwards.

Man you must have gotten home and went straight to the shop! It turned out very interesting. To help with the voids and overall results I think I'll use less material on the next one.

 

[nsfr1206]

So what was the material?

 

[Drstrangefart]

One of those things you scrub with in the shower. I didn't find any unfortunate body hair or dandruff in it, so I assume it was new.... (Brooks promised it was) And if anyone was at the chapter meeting, it was no closely guarded secret I wanted to turn it pretty badly.

 

[nsfr1206]

Cool. Like to make it to one of his demos over there sometime.

a loofah?

a loofah?

I think they're called something different, but yeah. Not the old 80's style long round painful sponge thingie. Newer.

I must have misunderstood what JB said. I thought it was one of those plastic versions of the SOS pad. But I guess the ones that make for shower use aren't too much different.....just come with a rope. Did he cast the rope in too? :tongue::biggrin::tongue:

I knew you meant LESS. Just had to rag on you a little for that one. Isn't that one of those double-dangling hyphenated participles? :biggrin::tongue::biggrin:
