This is my Breast Cancer Awareness pen. The kit is a Gatsby in chrome and gunmetal. The blank is a SpectraPly called Pink Lady. It was stabilized by Terry Q. Stabilizing the SpectraPly blanks makes a huge difference. I really like how this turned out. Save the TaTa's!

I sanded it to 600 grit dry, then applied several coats of thin CA. I polished it with Novus 3 and 2, and PlastX. It turned out pretty good for me, but I need to get some medium CA and learn to put a thicker finish on so I can polish it better. I had some dried CA on the ends, which I cleaned up by hand with my barrel trimmer.
