Hi and welcome to the forum
Acrylics are great fun, but come in many guises... Some are soft and easy to turn others very hard and brittle and any where in between.... Time and experience will be the best teacher, but always sharp tools and light cuts.... Let the white ribbons fly

Avoid inlace acrylester for the moment, have a look at Phils (Beaufort ink) site for a good selection (you can also choose by colour which is helpful) Paul Buckley also does his own cast, or Taylors Mirfield, Axminster tools etc...

[QUOTE="flexi, post: 358815, member: 626"] Hi and welcome to the forum Acrylics are great fun, but come in many guises... Some are soft and easy to turn others very hard and brittle and any where in between.... Time and experience will be the best teacher, but always sharp tools and light cuts....
