Blank size is approx 125mm x 16mm x 16mm
Will suit slimline up to Jr size Rollerball and Fountain Kits. Multiple blanks can be glued together for atomizers, full size kits or bowl blanks.
These are made using polyester casting resin in silicon molds.
As with all custom pen blanks, these have a sticky outer layer from the mold, we leave them sticky because as soon as you start turning the sticky layer is removed, this also keeps the cost of the blank low.
When drilling the blanks it is best to take your time, drilling too fast will generate a lot of heat which can cause the blanks to break. A popular method is to spray water on the blank while drilling to keep the temperature low.
When turning the blanks make sure that your tools are sharp and that your lathe is at the highest speed. Take light cuts with a skew or gouge.
For finishing the blanks we highly recommend using the Micro Mesh pads, these will give you outstanding results.
