Really nice I love pens I cant find anyone who has enough pens they are such fun to make’I have a dvd here showing a guy who has an unusual way of adding a polish to his pens.He sands all the way down to twelve thousand grit,that’s right twelve thousand not hundred.To add a polish he mixes a two parts of boiled linseed oil and super glue cyanoacrylite together and quickly goes over the fast moving pen watching out for his eyes of course.He seems to get or gets a beautiful sheen which is very tough.I tried this and could not get it to work he does also admit the kitchen roll tissue becomes very hot as there is a heat of reaction given off.have you tried this ? and was it successful ?Alistair

As an ex Navy man (1957-1961) I’m glad to see the newer Navy generations are doing such good work! They are all first class. That curly eucalyptus is a real eye popper.

I’ve never tried the BLO & CA yet….

I use a combination of Perfect Pen Polish, then follow that up with Shellawax or Hut Crystal Coat (whichever bottle is closer)
