Howdy all, the semester here at the Seminary is nearly over and the summer heat is on the way.
Time to start playin'.
My sis just got a new job as a rookie real-estate agent (something she'll kick hiney at). She wants me to make some pens of their company colors--- basically Corvette Yellow. I'll probably make her half a dozen or so (by the way, she has 28 sales reps in her division.......hmmmm maybe she'll be a good pen rep).
I have read the tutorials and I'll be casting them in 1/2 PVC pipe since I'll be making slimlines (could I use a smaller diameter since I drill with the collet chuck?).
My main Q's are these.
1) Is PR the most useful resin (cost effective/durable?). Where is the best place to get it? Seems like I remember Mesquite Man or Rifleman-- one of you dudes--- that made this killer cigar pen out of something other than PR resin.
2) For a nice hot yellow color with some pearl colors, where would you buy the colorants?
Also, if casting a mutli-color swirled blank (like red, white, blue) what's the best way to swirl the colors up?
Thanks for any advice!
Matt
