A little over a month or so ago I started trying this casting and PR blank making thing, with some success. As I made pens I put them in my case for showing off and whatever else. Well I had made a PR pen for a customer in his schools color and had put it in my case to keep it safe for a few days and so I would not lose it.
Well tonight I pulled it out of the case after a few days of it being in their and probably left in my car for a day or two in the portfolio. Tonight when I was putting it in its case to give to him tomorrow I noticed a bunch of indentations across the cap and body of the pen. At first I thought I had seriously had been on a PR high and not sanded it down all the way, but I was 99% sure that wasn't the case. The pen cases pen hold down straps had indentitated themselves into the cap and body of the PR pen.
Devastated since I had only hours left til the pen was to be unveiled to its new owner I began doing some thinking (the type that could blow up a brain) and wondered if I could reverse the process. So I pulled out another PR pen in the case and proceeded to fill the sink up with hot water and then let the pen into the pool err, sink. After a few laps I drained the sink and retrieved the pen and noted that some of the craters had subsided, so I repeated several more times. finally most of the craters had become barely noteicable so I let the other pen swim, and got it pretty close to original.
Has anyone else had this happen, and how did you fix your problem?
