Or, since the body will be hexagonal, six fine would be appropriate.
Right, I wasn't thinking anything as complex as BPS, but something much simpler like this.
Simple? Ahhhhahahaha hehe
End result:
Failing, that, is there any other clever solutions for the eraser, other than just flat pink paint? I wonder if I made sure that the surface was not smooth before painting, if the finished paint surface would retain that. But I really don't know whether I would achieve the desired texture or not.
I should try that. I was so fixated on the idea that the finish should be rubbery that I overlooked the basic fact that a pink eraser is pretty just an extremely flat pink finish (appearance-wise).If I were making a giant pencil. I’d paint the eraser on with acrylic craft paints, I think it would offer the closest color match and they come in Matte/flat finish. They dry very dull.
That will *definitely* take experimenting, because I've never tried that before.If you mix in Elmer’s glue or modpodge you wouldn’t have to worry about coating it either. For a even brush on finish I aim just shy of 20% glue to paint.
Since the ferrule and eraser are made as [two] different piece[s] attached to the hexagon by a coupler...
The construction test sample that you had with you on Saturday did have it as swappable. I hadn't meant to open a large worm can.Interesting idea. Of course it means lots more work for me... Also, the eraser assembly would need to be swappable, which in and of itself would take some thought...
There are ribs at the vertices, so I'd either need to (a) cut out the end piece of rib, or (b) not extend the rib all the way out in the first place. Given the flimsiness of the skin, I'm nervous about leaving even two inches of it unsupported.I was imagining vertices would be the easiest. Mount them to the inner tube as usual, and just trim the side of the flat panel that fits around it
On the vertecies looks better. Fact, or just my opinion? My opinion is that this is a fact.Honestly I'm not sure which way will *look* better.
And maybe fins on all six vertecies.
