I turned this pink resin (for the Mrs) pen yesterday - the first resin blank I have tried. Turned ok, but transparent in places down to the brass. Are they all like this - the light coloured resin blanks ?

Hi - I'm a new member and I've been pen turning for 6mths. Does anyone have use for the resin shavings from a few different coloured blanks. I don't intend to make my own blanks due to limited space, but if anyone can make use of my shavings let me know. Maybe I can swap them for a blank or two.

Hi Chaps, My first visit and first post. I have only recently started turning pens and have become addicted! I also acquired a casting pot with the lofty (and perhaps foolhardy) ambition of casting unusual hybrids and would welcome some advice. My questions:- 1. I have tried epoxy resin so...

Hi All, Hope someone can help with this. I've been looking at doing some of my own casting. Nowt too fancy thou. Have read many of the posts regarding the casting process etc but one thing keeps niggling at the back of my mind. During the resin curing process (i'm looking at Glass cast 50) the...
