I watched the video today, and it looks much easier than the book would have you think (that thing is huge).

If you don't get it figured out, just contact the bee. He'll set you straight. [emoji2]

What is the CA like to the touch? I imagine either plastic or stone like?

well, CA is basically plastic. Ultimately tho, the main driver of what it's going to feel like in your hand is how shiny it is (the texture, and the micro-texture). CA, buffed and polished out for the glassiest look is going to feel very smooth in your hand, and your brain will translate that as "plastic", perhaps. (warm & light-weight too tho.) The oil and oil/wax finishes I offer can give you a much more natural-wood feel, at the direct expense of how shiny and blingy the mod looks. Even with an oil-based finish (thinking Poly, Watco or SeaFin here), or the right wax, one could achieve a plasticky feel if one were to build the finish sufficiently above the surface of the wood.

I'm dying to feel it in my hand... one of the issues with wood mods is what juice does to the wood and I have a feeling the Lil Pinch is gonna be just fine when an rampant over squonker like me get his paws on it!

Rob you'll be happy to know that a good CA finish (I mean in and around the 510) will render the mod impervious to liquids

I am glad for this. Most atty's spit a bit from time to time.

Don't worry at all, the Pinch is liquid proof so tell your atty to spit away freely

Yep, they can even handle alcohol, just keep them away from lacquer thinner and acetone.

Of course those will eat through everything including O-Rings and insulators.

Dear Mr Bee, I think you have chosen a most excellent mod for yourself. That copper Nuppin' sleeve on black looks quite striking

Don't you just hate having to actually wait on vapemail? Bet you will be stalking that poor mail person, too.
