Larry gave me this idea...I have a few Soldiers with family in the Tuskeegee airmen unit...and the museum is near my brigade in LA...

I made this blank from stamps and logos...put on PPT, printed...sprayed with fixident stuff...and will cast after the superglue dries....looks like it will work....but now...I can design just about any logo pens....

One trick was to use a long line along the seem...that way it does not look iregular...and not real need to hide behind the clip.

Larry...any final advise before I drop in the PR?

Looks good. I've always had better luck casting stamp printed images rather than the real stamp. Less ink bleeding in the resin and better resin adhering with less air along the edges. Plus you can make more theme orientated pens and always print more if you make a mistake.

I do label printed logos with as much black as possible, or at least a black border which helps hide the seam. Use a black marker to mark the edge of the overlap to hide the white cut edge. I use no glue or sealer on the label itself. I know most do use some kind of fixative on the printed label and even a coat of CA glue. I never have and have no problems. The overlaped edge needs to be pressed into place with ample force and left for a day or two.
Do a good turn daily!

Just curious. Do you then cast over the label after it drys?
