I had some Glow in the Dark pen blanks given as a gift. I have not had any success turning them blunting 2 Gauges and after 1/2 hr there is not much turning showing, so I gave up. I have contacted the supplier in America and they tell me that the blanks are so hard CARBON should be used. They have not told me Carbon what?????? Can any one enlighten me, has any one had experience turning this type of blank
