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

Have fun Randy....BTW, I love rhubarb!

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?

Did you know that this same young lady was also Jason Bourne's girlfriend in that series??

SoftwareDrone · 16 February 2012, 05:29 AM

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)?

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 07:37 AM

I am shootin pictures as I go !
So there'll be a side by side or the two sides...

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 08:09 AM

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

Rolesor · 20 September 2009, 08:11 AM

wow great work!

Idle Swede · 20 September 2009, 08:38 AM

You're on a roll my friend.

Isn't it an easy tool to work with?

Yup, I thank you sir !

Need to get some "tooling" to better a more consistent brush effect...

Thanks,
Randy

Hang on Oscar and I'll show you some before & after pic's.

Idle Swede · 20 September 2009, 01:17 PM

Before and after using the pen only.

Latrodectus · 20 September 2009, 12:10 PM

very good

nice pictures too

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 01:20 PM

these are of the bracelet before when I used a much finer finish; its too fine a finish.

Colnago · 20 September 2009, 01:23 PM

Randy, what's the end of the tool made from?....could you give us a close up shot of the tool....maybe even an "action" shot showing how it works, I am very intrigued and also keen to see......I could do with one of those to be honest.....

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!

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 01:32 PM

ok, let me shoot some more pics

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 01:48 PM

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...

mdtddd2007 · 20 September 2009, 01:52 PM

cool

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 01:56 PM

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...

Idle Swede · 20 September 2009, 02:03 PM

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"...
