hi guys
I am making another acrylic pen and the blank is quite transparent, I am worried that the brass will show through -
would it be enough to use nail varnish in the required colour on the tube and then use super glue ?
is it better to paint the inside of the blank ? any tips on what pain to use and where to buy in the UK ?
someone mentioned colouring epoxy ? any tips on how to do this and where to get the required in the uk ?

Many thanks (as ever !)

Simon
