Crushed Velvet
Crushed velvet is chemically similar to Lucite or Plexiglas. It is a plastic known as methyl methacrylate, specially treated to color it and give it a wonderfully swirling, iridescent appearance. It will melt if overheated and you may wish to decrease the depth of cut and increase the number of passes.

Before gluing in the brass cylinders, paint them a similar color as your material so the brass will not shine through the finished product. In many pens the top barrel is thicker than the bottom barrel, and the reflection of unpainted brass can cause the color to appear different in each. Your finished product will have a truer color by painting the tubes first. When using our CN-01 WoodWrite,Ltd. Adhesive, always dip the blank in water and shake the excess out of the hole, then cement in the painted brass tube. This adhesive cures by absorbing moisture and there is no moisture content in Crushed Velvet as there is with wood. The water will also wash out any dust that may remain following the drilling process.

No polishes are necessary to finish crushed velvet. However, you will use increasingly fine grits of wet/dry sandpaper (used wet only!) followed by a polishing compound. WoodWrite, Ltd. has an assortment pack of sandpaper (CN-18) which contains 200, 400 and 600 grit and polishing compound (CN-19) which is a very fine abrasive compound, similar to those used after painting an automobile.

Remember to cover the working parts of the lathe and motor when using these materials. Complete instructions come with each package of crushed velvet blanks.
