Easy to Work With: Softer composition is perfect for inlay, turning, and cabbing without splintering. Coverage: One gram is enough for 3-5 standard ring inlays or to fill a 1.5" x 1.5" (4cm x 4cm) area at a depth of approx. 1mm. Creative Applications Jewelry & Ring Inlay: Ideal for creating fun, food-themed, or summer-inspired custom jewelry. Custom Woodworking: Fills knots and voids with a pop of fresh, energetic color.

Pen Turning: Craft custom pen blanks that evoke the sweet and juicy colors of nectar. Pro-Tip: The opal's true vibrancy is revealed when "wet" or mixed with a binder (like resin or CA glue). For the most dramatic fire, use a dark base. For a lighter, more subtle effect, try a white or light-colored base.
