Own Scarlet and Moss Green blank on an upgraded gold and trivalent chrome Lucida from TB

Not sure if this combo actually works. Would be nice to hear some comments please.:thumbs:P1030576.jpg

Well made and finished pen Ed, I don't think the blank and pen really go together to me they clash rather than compliment

Already commented Ed yesterday I spoke to a tech expert at a company who sells resins etc he recommended an epoxy in their huge range rather than poly resin , he mentioned you drop poly pens they break and the ease of turning epoxy.

I have yet to buy this and some other things he said an ideal temperature for epoxy is up to 25 C otherwise it sets up too quickly and use a 40 minute setting time product. Also extra heat gives volatile reactions in the mix.

What say you veteran of a few now?.

Peter.
