Interesting process and very nice effect.

I have few questions if you do not mind.

How does the epoxy adhere to the plastic? How well does it polish? Is it "shiny" enough?

Thanks for showing these.

The tubes stuck to the plastic with epoxy, does not polish very good as far as I know and it is not that shiny, but I have only tried it twice so it is still a trail for me and it's only a hobby for me so I am not bothered really!:whistling:

I am liking what i see Ted, even with those small chips in the Slimline it still looks a great looking pen with the pattern it shows .. Though the Sierra is a cracking pen also .. :thumbs:

Temperature, time and compression are the factors to getting it right.
Use talcum powder to harden and polish.
