Interesting.... I never really looked at it untill this morning, he used two parts paraffin to one part white spirit.

"Used to help the lubrication between wet and dry 600 paper" was the written word.. So stupid me thought it was something he was using to protect it..

He dipped it in to soapy water to clean the bl@@dy paraffin/white spirit mix off..

Says "ensure the the lubrication fluid is washed off throughly to remove it from the aluminium or it will leave marks when handled"

Shows how much I noticed when he did Ali pens eh..

This was my pencil I did, not done one since.. http://www.penturners.co.uk/turning-pens/1656-short-pencil-aluminium.html
