30/06 Twist

[Les ELm]

I cut the casing head and casing neck off a 30/06 casing, drilled out a lead free FMJ 30 caliber bullet to accept a
Cross refill.
Applied an Elk to a piece of curly maple using Testors Clear Waterslide Decal and finished with 10 coats of
Thin CA using my Dipping Method that I'm still working on the perfect the process.

**GOOD THINKING LES**
Nicely Done.
I've done many decal pens. On the lathe I keep adding coats of CA until I
think there's enough.
Do you actually dip the barrel into CA?

 

[AllenN]

Nice work Les, although I am intrigued why you want to develop CA dipping when so many of us would love to abandon CA because of the fumes? Maybe you can find a way to control the latter.

Thats a beauty Les.

Angelo,

Yes, I dip the whole barrel in a tall small diameter container of Thin CA.
So far there has bee no requirement do do any sanding on the Thin CA.
