We use Alumilite Clear Slow Resin, the best resin for casting pen blanks. It is easy to turn and effortlessly polishes to a high-gloss finish. We recommend applying a CA finish on these blanks to achieve the best results.
For optimal results, we recommend applying a CA finish to these blanks. Please note that these blanks are best suited for experienced turners who are comfortable with light cuts and sharp tools. While some chip out may occur during the turning process, these blanks are well worth the effort, resulting in pens that are truly remarkable. To minimize the risk of chipping, consider applying thin CA glue before and during turning. You need to have a light touch and Very high speed. When you start, keep the chips that come off so you have them to replace any missing at the end. If you‘re making a pen or something similar in size, the chips at the beginning don‘t matter much, but save one or 2. Keep a soft but very sharp touch as you get down to the final size. I don‘t usually lose scales at this point, but I have a few times, so If you lose a scale, replace it with one you saved. Attach it with thick CA glue and activator. Once it is set completely, trim it with that very light touch. I finish mine with about 8 coats of Medium Flex CA to ensure the scales never pop off.
Overall, we are confident that you will love these pen blanks. They are sure to create the most eye-catching pens you have ever seen!
