While surfing the web last night I came across an unusal idea for finishing pens, and I suppose, other items as well.
Has anyone heard of, or tried this? The article I read said you could put small pieces of broken plexiglass in a clean paint can, cover with a small amount of acetone, and stir over several days until the plexiglass was disolved.
The solution could then be applied to pens in several layers, evaporating the solvent, building up plexiglass, then sanding it smooth, similar to the process of completing a CA finish. The final sanding is progressively finer and finer, down to a micro-mesh.
What do you think?
