Now for some real fun !

Leo, told me I was using the incorrect brush finish for bracelets, so I will now use the correct BERGEON 2834-C. Just need a couple sugar free scoops vanilla and a slice of sugar free strawberry rhubarb encouragement before we begin !

Thanks,
Randy

Wow, this is getting serious. I really wish you had taken some before and after shots of the head so why not humor us on the bracelet project?

Okay, back on topic.
Two dumb questions:

1. Does this pen work on gold?

2. Is there another kind of pen for the polished surfaces (PCL's)?

So anyways, Leo, "Thanks" for showing me "the way" !
Clearly, the brighter finish was the BERGEON 2834-C...

I took the tip off to show the length of the brush.
Its fiberglass I guess.
I got this one from Natl Jewelers Supplies, just Google em.
It was 18.90 w/shipping.

Bill, When I bought mine I believe I read that the bristles are fiberglass.

Very nice presentation, Sink-O-rator!

(Sure! NOW I read the post above mine! )

then here, we see that I mask off a section at a time then simply brush beginning at one end and continuing to the end. I may try a guide of sorts to keep better stroke pattern, let me improvise something and shoot that...

then here I have some .25 inch think pieces of wood to support a "guide" for the brush to ride against to help control the stroke pattern. If you have a better idea for this, please speak up.
The one thing that I would prefer is some sort of jig that exposed more of the inside radius; so a more rounded surface for the strap to lay against, is what I am trying to say...

Try to tilt the pen a little bit more Randy and don't do long strokes.

Do one link at a time with short strokes.

Ok, so here's what it looks like with "short individual link strokes"...
