AS for getting CA on your shirt. When it happens it becomes a work shirt. I have a few new T shirts that became "work shirts". By the way I have made 30 pens and I have had 2 disasters. It is all part of the learning process.Have a great day.

I’m a rookie so please bear with me. Is it necessary to use a pressure pot or will the resin harden ? Thank you.

Ratts, always a learning experience. Thank you for sharing your experience with Alumilite. Everyone stay safe,wai, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Came out nice.

Man loved the blank. We’ve all been there. Would like to find that color combo.

What do you use to print your tube labels?

How do you make your tube cables? Your content is very informative and better late than never on PPE. Take care

I really enjoyed this video and found Iam doing many of the same things you are doing. One thing I would have done differently is I would have also micro mesh sanded the acrylic blank to make the acrylic shine, before applying the CA glue layers. You might need to let the wood part of the blank dry first but it seems that putting a clear CA finish on a polished blank is going to look even better than putting it on one that is rough sanded. I will try it and see if there is a difference.

Pura mierda. 1 minute into the video, I went to another video, the music was distracting.

Good information and you really are a good instructor. It’s reassuring to see that we all have failures despite our best efforts.

When cutting a label do you have a overlap

And wear eye pro. Going to the ER with CA in your eye is something you will remember for the rest of your life.

Need help On making the actual label Please

Thanks so much for this. This allows for more detail in pricing work. I really appreciate it.

Honestly what I saw the thumbnail I thought it said get a glass finish on your penis

Any suggestions, my lathe only goes to 500 rpm

This is for production turning, doesnt work for one off artistic work. you can use this for a minimum selling price to break even, and thats how much you charge for the piece you like least, the rest you price up from there according to how much you like it, more you like it the more it costs, if it doesnt sell straight away it doesnt matter, it makes your display look good and you sell more of what you like least.. if you like it that much someone else will too, you wait for the right buyer...

I thank you so much for sharing your method of the CA finish! I've learned a lot by watching. Also, I can't tell you how many times I've screwed up blanks after all that process. Thank you for showing how real it is for how things can go wrong. I've yet to be satisfied with my own CA finish, but this has been very helpful. Also, thanks for sharing that particular brand of CA!!

Thank you!

Heartbreaking! But thanks for sharing your techniques on the CA finishing :)

What paper towels do you use to avoid ca chemical reaction? I stopped using paper and started using ca and a nitrile glove but it’s not always as smooth as paper. Great video and thanks!

I just discovered your videos. I was sad to hear you are no longer making videos but I definitely understand your circumstances. Hope everything is going well.

Nice vid full of good info. Alas couldn't see through your hands assembling the pen. Sorry to see the failure at the end.

What paper do you use and do you use a ink jet color printer.

🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍

CA finish looks really good but can you also apply laser engraving on pens with CA finish?

Thanks for this video, now I can make my own labels--I was wondering how people were doing these! On a side note, this was obviously made before COVID 19 because now the same gloves at HF are like $15/box. Anyway, great video, thanks again.

I liked the video and what I learned from it. The music in the background was entirely too repetitive, it would be suitable with no unnecessary music and just you giving instructions.

3X the material is soooo simpler!

I'm relatively new to turning pens (or anything else on the lathe, for that matter) and I like your process. I have about 10 pens to turn for Christmas gifts, so we'll see how it goes. I'll take a look at the Mercury website since my CA supply is a bit low. Thanks for the demo~!

Great buddy. I learned a lot. Specially that masters can also make mistakes. I feel so much better now. That’s the way the cookie crumbles kkkkk. Thanks 🙏🏼

When I first started getting into pen turning I read about using CA glue, but decided that it would be too expensive and not vary safe. Since I only turn wood pens, I decided to use linseed oil. The two most popular brands for gunstock finishing are Lin-speed and Tru-Oil. All the sanding is done before any finish is applied, and the finish is rubbed in with bare hands. The only cleanup you need to do on your hands is to use soap and water. Several coats can be rubbed in, and the final product can be gloss or matte. If you get a dent in the wood all you have to do is sand the finish around the dent, bring the wood back up with a damp cloth and a steam iron, and then refinish it with the same finish as what was originally on it. Keep in mind that these finishes are made for guns that are used for hunting in the field, where it may be raining, so the finish is quite durable. Some people think guns are dangerous, but this is one gunsmithing skill that is MUCH SAFER than the way that many people finish their pens. No, I am not a professional gunsmith, gunsmithing is just one of my many hobbies. It helps to have several hobbies when something learned in one hobby can be used in another hobby.

I feel your pain...

Thank you!

This is a great video! Thanks so much

Michael, What brand of a pressure pot do you use? I know you can use a paint pot but am unsure about the modifications that have to be made to it. I found this video very educational. Great job. Thank you.

where did you get the shelf for pressure pot?

Hi Mike, I know this is late to the party but just wanted to say thank you for the effort you put into this and for sharing it with everyone. Great information for sure. Thanks again, DJ

WOW! Great info!

What temperature did you pour at?

Awesome video - you are a great instructor

I live in Denver, a mile high above sea level. How does that affect the vacuum I’ll need?

Very instructive video, thank you for taking the time to make and share!

Do you make the labels on an inkjet? What paper did you use?

How does the Mercury thin compare to the Starbond thin CA ?

i love the energy coming off this guy.

You started with how many thins ?? them how many med ??

Two quick questions. Can you use a degasser to remove hidden bubbles that could potentially ruin the casting, then put it in a pressure pot? Second question, I noticed you said that you put your casting under psi of 40 because your pressure pot couldn't go as high. I've seen people put their castings at a much higher level such as 60-80psi. what is the ideal psi?
