I keep seeing this product advertised claiming that it is easy to obtain bubble free casting without the use of pressure pots etc. Has anybody tried it and does it do what it states on the tin ? For those of us who want to do the odd clear cast picture blank is it the answer ? :thinks:

Here’s a few photos of some of the pens that I’ve turned from a selection of our new label / image cast blanks, the photos don’t really do them justice as the acrylic is polished to quite a high shine, but they look quite flat in the photos, also I think I turned the blanks a bit premature...

I started making these Label Casting Templates & Label Aignment Jigs a while back to aid my own label casting, I’ve now added them to my website. www.penblanksandmoulds.co.uk/label-casting-accessories

I’ve just added these Label Cast Pen Blanks to our website www.penblanksandmoulds.co.uk/label-cast-pen-blanks we’re planning on adding more blanks over the coming weeks, see website for more details.

This casting mould is truly universal and has endless possibilities as to what you can cast from it, for example, with a full cast you can cross cut blanks to required length for shaving brush handles, bottle stoppers, spinning tops etc. You can cut the blank lengthways to get four 20mm x 20mm x...

One of my steampunk bolt action pens using watch parts, I used CA glue to bond the carbon braid to the brass tube then trimmed the carbon back each end on a disc sander. I made a set of dies to shape the watch parts the same diameter of the tube then anealed/cleaned and glued said watch parts to...

I'm hoping to pick up some hints and tips to cast my own blanks as my first couple of attempts have not really been much good:wink:

Having been asked if it was possible to encapsulate fabric into a pen I foolishly say yes good she says can I have 30 please So I stupidly (alcohol is to blame) say yes. What do you think of the first 8 I would add the only other pen I have cast was a postage stamp pen as a momento of a trip to...

Hi all, I know that I keep asking a lot of questions but hopefully members will be able to help me again. I am slowly working towards making my own Acrylic casts and have a few ideas that I would like to try. One idea I have is to "float" items in the cast. I was wondering if a clear cast...

I have never made one of these in all the time that I have been turning pens and as I have two of them which were given to me by two members on here I thought it was about time I made one of them. As many have done before me it is on a white blank which I cast myself.

As a follow-up to the Mistral a few days ago, here are two Siroccos. One black, Gun Metal/Chrome, each with the same Diamond Cast blank. These were actually cut-offs from a custom pen I was building and they were long enough to try out on two different kit platings. Photos are not good, and...

This is one I finished this weekend - Gold Mistral Fountain with a blue "Diamond Cast" blank from Tim McKenzie. (Tim is just getting his business off the ground - blanks will be available for purchase next week.) The photos do not reflect the diamond dust which is cast in the blank and...
