I want to make a pen with a tartan barrel. It's for my granddaughter's boyfriend in Oz, a present from Scotland, ye ken! As I am not set up for casting, I thought I would use a decal that would cover the barrel on a Sierra, then cover in CA. I am not sure how to deal with the join, as overlapping might show up as a stripe of stronger colour and trying to do a butt join accurately would be difficult.

Can anyone offer me any advice on this?
