    I am very new at this and am looking into making pens. I am curious on the turner, is that something that is 100% necessary? I don’t have the supplies for that, is it only for certain epoxies because needing to be cured or..? Is there a way to do it without needing the turner?

    • @KristisCustomCreations
      @KristisCustomCreations  3 роки тому +1

      A turner is very helpful if you are using a two part epoxy that takes hours to dry. You can actually do this with UV resin and a nail lamp or UV light. I will actually be putting a tutorial out this weekend showing how to make a pen using UV resin.. you can literally make a pen in an hour with the uv resin.

      The turner keeps the epoxy even and smooth as the epoxy hardens, making the pen nice and smooth. The alternative would be to do a pen with UV resin, which requires a UV lamp to cure. I have some other videos that show how to make them using UV resin. ua-cam.com/video/Iw1GhJiB9yQ/v-deo.html

      Yes, it would need to spin for the epoxy (resin) to lay evenly. If you didn't spin it, the Epoxy would all gather down at one end. If you are using the UV resin, I would think that you could spin it by hand under the light since the light cures it super quick.

    I have a question (if anyone can answer), when I read directions for Epoxy, they usually say “temperature need to be at least 70* when mixing epoxy” (or whatever temperature it is) but it doesn’t say that needs to be the temperature for it to cure/dry. Does the temp have to still be 70* or does the temp matter for it to cure/dry? Only wondering bc directions don’t say.

      Make sure that you don't add too much heat when you are sanding off the clip and you can even try an exacto knife to get the nub from where the clip was versus the sandpaper. If you put too much heat on it when softening that nub from the clip, it can warp the pen and cause the guts of the pen to not slide back into place properly. I hope that makes sense.
