My first batch of pen blanks..

[LarryDNJR]

..using my newly purchased 2 gallons of Alumilite Clear mixed with some Reeves oil paints and Pearl-Ex pigment powders from Michael's cast in Fred (PTownSubbie) blank mold with 4 voids of 7/8" square by 5¼" in length.

I'm still trying to get the hang down on the timing, when to pour, and mixing etc. I need also to use my pressure pot as I've noticed a slight bit of bubbles in these. I'll worry about that once I get the timing/mixing issues figured out better.

The 4th one from the left I poured some left over from the cup into one of the blank voids and let it set some. Removed it, turned on its side, shaped it a little with some small twist and poured in a different color mix around that.

Anyways pics are attached, curious on thoughts. Both pics are same blanks just somewhat turned around in 2nd.

Pretty interesting patterns you got there Larry.

I dont think you have alot of time for mixing with Alumilite. PR on the other hand....

Larry, don't you just love it when a plan comes together? When you get them turned and have the hardware in them, be sure to let us see the final results.

Looks like you are off to a good start Larry. Nice mix of colors.
