Kit question....

[Gadget-UK]

Well the kits arrived yesterday and (might be just me but) not impressed by
The actual pen insert is tiny
Also out of the four one of them is badly damaged
I will email them today regards a replacement but not a “good quality” kit IMHO 🫤

Colin,
I too placed an order and mine arrived as well. I also ordered 4 one of each plating, mine all arrived intact luckily but I like you am a little concerned about the pen insert - not sure where you can get refills if the pen turns out ok....

Not gonna have a chance to make one for a couple of weeks - so I'll update after I do - be interesting to see what answers you get back...

Would it be possible to cut a standard pen refill down to size?

Paddy. have a look at Axminster there have a aromatherapy pen kit for £19-98

Hi , I have looked for this pen kit, but funny enough either Axminster or E-Bay they all have the bushing for this kit but none have the kit.

One question- how do you engrave a name or any other thing in a epoxy resin pen ? I have a small lazer machine that does a good job on wood
but when it comes to acrylic it does not work. I bought a small cnc but the dificulty to set it up was so much that I returned it. Is there a way of engraving on a acrylic pen?

OK - so I found a site BUT it seems to me they must be ordering from China as they hold no stock and take 7-12 days for delivery, has anyone ever used this site ? (www.pen-kits.co.uk)

I have used this site many times, she is very reliable and the kits are just as good as Axminster or Turner’s. Usually email her direct. Rachel Banks pen-kits.co.uk@mail.com
