brass

Apologies if I am asking an old question. Does anyone have a preference when using CA to glue in the brass tubes. I tried using medium today as I could see more of a gap between the blank and the brass tube, but I found it lessoned the movement of the brass tube going in the pre drilled hole...

This is my first Skull pen from PSI. The blank is an acrylic acetate called Grape Mesh. This was commissioned by a friend. She originally wanted antique pewter, but the antique brass was 25% off, so she chose that instead. I like the kit, especially the red crystals. And I do think the antique...

I have seen posts where some of you have talked about painting the brass tubes. I started to make a slimline with a really nice blank, my problem came when i reached the final size of the blank, it had become almost translucent and you could see the brass tube. Well that one is a bust now. So...

O.K. Melted Brass MK 3.. :thinks:

Well I am nearly ready to give up on this Bugger! decided to try another bit of brass for the overturned one the other week but it ended up crap finishing with some marks.. :vangry: Not really, I don't give up that easy, Mk 3 should be ok honest! :funny: :rolling:

I have noticed that some bushing kits fit better than others, what should be the clearance when the bushing is inserted into the brass tube. Obviously if it's to loose you will have all sort of problems, if it's tight you will maybe expand the brass tube and wreck the pen before you get going.

Finally achieved it a double 303 with a proper tip which a kind forum member passed on to me. Thanks for that Mark. Brass is only polished and has no sealer. Peter
