Thank you. I only heard heard of the Vista yesterday in one of your posts. This has a 3/8ths tube. I am not sure of the other similarities. I bought about 10 from Ed. I wish the more pens had more "meat".
Thank you. The green one does not have any CA; the mixed material blanks do (about 8 coats). 90% of the time I do not apply CA to non woods. However, I just started applying a few coats to non-woods (most likely unnecessary). Some of my client have my pens since I started and the non-woods dulled from regular handling. I was easily able to shine them up (the clients didn't ask me, I volunteered - many of my clients are local friends). After, I saw how they can get dirty or dull I started apply several coats of CA as a more permanent protectorant. My everyday carry is made from M3; I applied several coats of CA to it , believe it or not. I am sure none of this is necessary. I just like experimenting. All of my pens have a coat of Rejex synethetic wax, but it wears off after a while.
Thank you. To be honest, it wasn't one that I would have ever made. A younger gal wanted it. She's the client!
Thank you. I have to log in an d look it up. I I bought two that looked like olive green to me . One was heather something and that had too much blue in it (but a nice blank). It is called "new money". It definitely needs to be reverse painted. It turned and shined-up well, but wouldn't use it on another thin-bodied pen.
Totally agree ... the customer is always, well almost always, right.
