My son is graduating from the academy in November. I just gave myself the notion to make some kind of, Thin Blue Line, pen for him. Does anyone know of some blanks out there that would make this possible? Thanks
Thanks... I'm probably the one who came up with using decals on pens 15+ years ago... I did a tutorial on Lumber Jocks. I'm glad there are videos now about how to do it. I guess what I really want is a barrel that is the actual thin blue line flag.If you are inclined you can make them yourself.
The photos below are pens made with cut vinyl graphics attached to the tube and cast in Alumilite clear slow resin.
You can also look into water slide decals apply that graphic to the tube and cast in resin.
Tha
he advantage of the water slide decal is you can have multiple colors printed, include personalization like badge numbers. agency or officre's mane.
There are several youtube vids on applying decal graphich to pen work. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pen+decals
Again the photos below are cut vinyl applied in two colors in the future I would opt for the decal process.

Exotic Blanks carries Thin Blue Line flag inlay blanks for the Bolt Action and Sierra style kits. I've never made anything using inlay kits, but there are YouTube videos out there related to using laser inlay blanks. - DaveThanks...
