I cast my first snakeskin pen blanks. I glued the skins around the tubes, placed BB's inside and glued corks in the ends. I pulled a vacuum on the resin for ten min. and poored it over the blanks inside mold. I placed under pressure for 20 hours at approx. 35 psi. I removed the blanks from the molds and cut them apart. I pried the corks out and found that the resin had went throug the corks and I had a BB and resin casting inside the tube. The corks were sealed good around the edges. I think the resin pushed through the corks into the tubes. I don't know what went wrong. Any IDEAS.
