Whoaaaaa 3 posts for the price of 1 click! Simply Amazing!!
Rocky, I saw the speil you wrote up in my email notification. You want me to revert your post back to that ?
So, how long can I keep pushing it but still be able to put it under pressure to ensure clarity? I'm thinking of either casting the stopper stub in place (which works fine if I'm going to be the one turning it) but maybe that ultra clear line would be a better general solution if I just make them to sell/trade/whatever.
And, now it deleted the second post? 
Naaaah... For the benefit of others.
Ali Express has been good. Kinda like a Chinese Amazon/E-Bay. Lots of little stores, under one big roof; the big roof establishes and enforces rules on the stores. Pretty much everything comes out of China, want to say I have found goodies out of India too, usually takes about 3 weeks to get your goodies.
Have had no problems there to speak of. Confusion over one order, the item wasn't available in one of the 5-6 colors I had ordered, and rather than back order that, or substitute it, they held the entire order. Ali Express guarantees everything you order up to so many weeks, you can file for extensions, request refunds; time was drawing near on my extension, store suggested a refund because they couldn't get the one color, so I requested and very promptly received a refund.
That the worst experience I've had with them.
Otherwise, quality product for the price, price is typically dirt cheap. I haven't ordered anything expensive, but all the cheap items I've ordered have certainly been worth more than what I paid for them. Hand painted wood bees and lady bugs for casting refrigerator magnets were like 2 cent apiece. For 2 cent, they're excellent quality. I mean seriously, a guy doesn't expect much for 2 cent,way exceeded my expectations.
But yeah, if you have time to wait, shopping Ali Express is an OK deal, in my experience.

Wellllll... if putting it under pressure, pushing it back down in the resin isn't going to work. Fishing line may be a better option.
Flew to maui last night so I could get some shop time in.
Look @Tony I'm making a texas cutting board.

Also, how many times do I have to tell you. For a state that was once an independent nation, it's spelled Texas!

Been a weird week, been out of the shop more than I'd like having to deal with something and hoping to get a definitive answer on Monday provided the doc shows up for work.... My wife realized I was wound a little tight and this morning forced me to road trip and get away from the shop for a while. Surprised me and took me to a movie. Then she dropped me at the shop about 4, got close to 400 cast blanks squared up and the first 60 turned and polished before she came back at 9 to take me home. Hoping for a full day of turning tomorrow.
Colin, whatever is going on, take care if yourself first and foremost!! Tony

More pens today, now back to Oahu. I only weekend in maui now...
@Don Ratcliff what is that first kit?
Sceptre from PSI
Very nice, Don! I especially like that Sceptre. You need to send that one to me for closer inspection. (Then I'll keep it and will send you something else in return, lol.)
