OK, I only ask because there is a big difference between casting a clay bank and turning down the resin as apposed to turning the clay down to a uniform surface. The result is nearly the same but the method is quite different and more difficult.

It was decided last year that it would not do anything to the blank that a CA or lacquer coating or some other coating would. Let's just leave it at that.

Say… I have TONS of pens that I'd love to pick from… but. Do they have to be turned on a lathe? Just got one but never used it yet. My pen barrels are rolled.
If that doesn't disqualify me I'd love to enter.

Thank you Melanie, yours and all the others were a pleasure for me to be the first one to see, that is the one real perk for running a contest. Congratulations and I hope to see a lot more of your work in the future. And of all the other Polyclay makers too.
