This is a slimline made from one of Uncle Jim's concoctions that he gave me when I visited him.
This is the first time I've turned something other than wood and it is finished with 20 coats of CA.

You styled this well Terry, and it looks good, but using micro mesh would be sufficient when finishing resin .. Just something to remind you for future resin or acrylic turnings ... :bwink:

Did you just use a skew or roughing gouge also ... :thinks:

On this one Jim I used a spindle gouge and finished with a scraper as I was a bit cautious of taking too much off. I agree about Micromesh as I sanded to 12000 with another make and did it dry and yes the finish was the same. Part of the learning curve. Thanks for the resin!!!:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

That's a great job, finished nicely too.

That looks a really nice colour blank.. Might have to have a look at one or two of them.. :thinks:
