Braided Elegant, Thanks Les

[angelo49]

As per Braided Pen Tutorial by Les.
I used a 12mm x 10' cheap vinyl tube bought on ebay.
After fitting it to the prepared tube, holding it taught, I soaked it in CA,
wiped it down with plastic bag, and lightly sprayed accelerator.
I did this about 4 times.
I wanted to see if the vinyl would have a bad reaction with the acc.
but it didn't. you can feel the texture of the weave but it's rock hard.
Thanks, Les

12mm x 10' vinyl tube
My mistake, its' what they make plastic bottles from, actually...
''Polyethylene terephthalate commonly abbreviated PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P, is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester.''
