Pen with melted Aluminium and grooves filled with coloured Epoxy as a test a long time ago! There are some other bits somewhere in quite old threads on here, been trying some HDPE melting again lately as well.. Also tested a bit of Hydro dipping with Spray paint, just Pound shop...

Hi I am getting ready for many different answers but that will be good to. What do you use to paint your pen tubes?:thinks: Kevin Living up to my signature asking daft questions....:goesred:

Looking for your experience. I was making a pearlescent white pen.(sirocco) Thought I'd best paint the tube. So added a drop of acrylic white paint to the Gorrilla 5 minute epoxy and painted the tube as well. Left it overnight. When I turned the pen it broke apart, as if it wasn't glued. To...

I had an interesting result with some blanks I cast and thought anyone wondering if they should paint the tube or the blank might find it informative. 1st ... paint the blank. So I made a slab cast with baby pine cones in it. Came out nice and I cut it into blanks and proceeded to drill one...

Well while I can't do any standing and lathe work all of my bits have arrived that I ordered so I can at least have a play with my Airbrush system so I loaded it up with some proper airbrush black paint and set to two pieces of paper the other one only has lines on both side so binned it this...

Here are the pens I turned from paint residue. I was given some dried paint lumps and managed to turn two standard twist pens and an Omega Fountain pen from Talors Mirfield. It is still a bit hairy to turn as if it gets too warm it starts to delineate and flies all over. I use a tungsten tipped...

In Lidl just now cheap Acrylic paint

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...

This was a project of which I had no idea of the problems I would encounter. I started by creating blank of 12mm square. The cellulose paint was about 9mm so I glued the pieces to build up then trimmed down on bandsaw. Drilling had to be done in many bites as the heat generated softened the...

Hi I have just been given some pieces of cellulose paint cracked from an old car and it has many layers. I have cut two pieces into 12mm square blanks and will hopefully turn a twist pen Any advice on turning layered paint?? Regards

I ordered this blank for my mom, because she likes jigsaw puzzles. The resin is clear, so I need to paint the tubes and reverse paint the blank. But what color? I was thinking white, since if I use one of the puzzle pieces colors, it would tend to hide those pieces. But what about something like...

I wanted to back paint the blanks white and the tubes white to show the contrast between these and the ones I back painted Black, but I had no white spray paint and my wife let me use some white nail polish, but I didn't get the inside of the blank covered well nor the tubes so I didn't bother...

I have been clearing out more stuff and came across these blanks I made last year, it's the first one I have turned from them and I am quite pleased with how they have turned out. I back painted this one with black and the tube also black. The next one I will paint using a different colour just...

I have a Lucitylic blank from Exotic Blanks in baby blue, and a version in pink from Rockler. They have white ribbons in very translucent resin. Initially, I was going to paint the tubes and blank with white. But I'm afraid that would make the ribbons hard to see. But would painting them baby...
