Pen finish
Hi Kevin - 3 coats of Boiled Linseed Oil and superglue followed by a
top coat of TSW if you can get it (Arizona Silhouette did have some a couple of weeks ago). If you can't get TSW, use Renaissance Wax as it is resistant to fingerprints. Couple of good sites for pen makers a http://www.thepenshop.net/ and the Yahoo Penmakers Forum at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/penturners/ On the Yahoo group, under the Standard Techniques section, you will find a pdf file on the BLO/CA finish, by Don Ward - member of the Pen Turners Guild. I have just filmed a dvd over the weekend on pen making and following advice from Don, I use the finish almost all of the time and the film crew were amazed as no-one seems to use that finish over here in the UK.. Hope it helps Paul Loseby www.pens-pens.com On Fri, 13 Oct 2006 15:03:44 GMT, "Kevin Cleary" wrote: I have been using 5 minute epoxy after I get done sanding and I've been looking for a high gloss finish to put on after that.Any sussestions?
