Hi,
I tried the super glue & linseed oil as you tube video guide...didn't really work for me. I have carnauba wax, must be putting it on wrong :-|

Will try again :-)

 

[markmcg]

Yep, going to get some tomorrow, and a few other 'bit 'n bobs' :-)

I know I'm new to this forum, but just wanted to say well done as it looks like a nice pen. Not quite sure by looking at the photo if there is a small gap at the nib, but you're on your way to ticking all the boxes, super stuff keep turning.

Ok got some friction polish & some pen blanks...guess what I am doing over the weekend :-)

Mark it must be catching but I do like pics of people for Avatars. Not sure members could take seeing one of me.

Finishes are dependant on the blank you are using. Horses for courses.

Oops, old photo. I have since retired, changed to a more relevant one now :-)

I gave up on the boiled linseed oil and superglue Mark, I do use super glue, C.A. then polishes as you have been advised.
Think we should all, even Australian Peter, try to put up a picture, none could be worse than me! As I said, nice to put a face to an name. Friendly I think?
