I know of this company and their products I have to say 10 out of 10 for initiative, I would never have thought of using this material for pens.
That must have peeled off much like Frankie's pipes in long streams tangling around the mandrel and melting themselves to it.
Being a thermoformed plastic I would imagine hard to get a finish on without using heat to do so, credit to you.

Turns just like 'ordinary' acrylic blanks Brian..... to finish just wet micromesh to 12000 and Renaissance wax ...easy peasy.
