Last snake skin

[Stevej72]

The PR that I ordered from Mrfiberglass showed up the other day I cast a Baron and a Sierra snake skin and a logo blank from the company I work for. I turned through the PR on the ends of both snake skin pens. Also, there are a few white spots next to the skin.

I wiped the skins down with isopropal alcohol before casting. In my rush to get this done I forgot to degas before casting at 60 lbs. pressure.

I was happy with the way my logo pen turned out, although I had a lot of trouble with the pictures, after 4 trips down to my basement studio (my wife calls it her laundry room) I gave up.

steve, nice work on both accounts. i'm sure the next snake skin will be perfect. the logo pen looks really good. did you just use avery address labels for that?

 

[Stevej72]

Thanks! I used the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 shipping labels, because that is what I had on hand.

Nice job Steve. To bad about the snake skin. Things I need to know when I try it.
The loge pen looks great. Seems you have that one mastered. Looks like I have some catching up to do.[][][]

Looks better than my first snake cast. Keep at it....you are off to an excellent start.
Do a good turn daily!

Nice looking logo pen! Have you tried a Sierra Vista for a snakeskin? They have room for a thicker layer of PR over the snakeskin. I saw one at Anthony's the other day and the depth of PR kind of magnified the snakeskin.
