I know some of you remember when I started this several month back. I didn't get any volunteers for casting so I finally got around to getting my own stuff together, which is actually better for me and my want-to-do-it-all mentality. From start to almost finish, I think it turned out pretty well. I had to expand the bullet pen casting mold a little to accommodate the modified inlay kit, but the Liquid Diamonds came out like glass - so far.
Questions for someone who cast with Liquid Diamonds: is it prone to chipping or cracking when turning it to shape? Best tools for turning that you like? Normally I angle skew to round and then side scrape with skew to finish out the shaping. Any tips or cautions would be appreciated.
It is being donated for auction at the EOD Ball in May in Hawaii with proceeds going to the EOD Warriors Foundation. I would hate to get this far and blow it... but I guess the is plenty of time to start over if I do.
