Ok so firstly wasn't sure which forum to post on as blanks were Olivewood Hybrid!

Secondly there should have been two pens - the first is a moon twist, in midnight blue, it sparks and glitters in real life too:

The second would have been a headwind but this happened :rolling:

I think we have all been there, your in the hands of the caster with these..... If they have used a good resin and everything is well bonded, then it's fine. I have had blanks that have melted, delaminated and shattered all due to poor casting... Well that's my excuse anyway and I now only buy from a couple of sources that I can trust.
Very nice job with yours.... :thumbs::thumbs:

I agree with Mark on this one.

It has happened to me before and dare say it could happen again, don't be disheartened and carry on and put it down to experience.

Other pen looks good.
