Circuit Board Pen Question

[jimm1]

I bought one of these circuit board Sierra III kits from Woodcraft. When I opened the little bag with the blank in, the blank was real sticky. I have it setting out, but after the 2nd day, it's still a little sticky.
Any thought or suggestions?

Just turn it. The sticky part should turn away. I got one a few weeks back and it turned fine.

ditto, i even went back to woodcraft to ask about it being sticky. just use sharp tools as they are also chippy/brittle.

Seems pretty normal for these blanks , as stated it will turn fine and finish ok, a small amount of warmth can help if you are worried, I cast a lot of clear blanks,and sometimes sit them on top of my computer modem overnight to finish hardening the surface ,gentle heat ,maybe put in a "baggie in some hot to boiling water to speed up the process for a few minutes ,in any event they will be fine and a little softer to turn than some of the other acrylics around .

I made one from Woodcraft and it was sticky before turning, came out fine after turning.
