Lovey set there :thumbs:,how does the polymer clay hold up in the resin? I have been working with it for a couple of years but wasn't sure if it would react in resin?

The polymer pen is not cast in resin, once the color and pattern are done it is then rolled around the tube
and baked in the oven for about 20 minuets, then left to cool and cure and turned as you would acrylic or timber.

Hope this helps Roy

Thanks Steve, I have made a few pens this way but found baked clay a bit brittle and has a tendency to crack at the ends did you finish it with anything like CA or varnish?
