Been a while but I've mixed some more

[jas46]

I've been flat out with my other business but have finally managed to mix some more blanks
1 is a purple and gold looked like it was going to be plain till I lathed it down

There is another 2 I mixed but they are in tubes, 2 color mixes to see how I get on with tubes vs flat molds
At the moment I'm preferring the flat molds

Cheers guys
I have an Axminster artisan fountain pen kit the gold one for it but I've got to make the mandrel and bushings for it first lol
I have mixed some more some iron man colors and will lathe down the blue one today ��
I'm still getting used to mixing the colors and the timing needed so they don't blend too much but it's tricky as the blue one I think I was maybe 5 min too early, but I don't think I will be using the tube any more as I can't mix the colors how I would like so I bought some more mould making silicon and will be making loads more today ��

This is the iron man tube made blank I did use a zigzag wire but looks like not enough lol

Bad news is the gold purple one has been destroyed I was inserting the brass tube for my pen and it shattered so I'm far from happy at the moment as one tube went on fine so now I'm 2 tubes down.
