Customizing Your Brassing Pen

The brassing on your pen’s metal surface accumulates over time due to the oxidation process that happens naturally with brass. With the brassing, you can trace the use of your pen and learn about your personal memory, story and style. You can also use fine sandpaper to create a personalized brassing effect by removing some of the black paint on the surface to create a creative and original pen that no one has ever seen before. The exposed brass areas of your Ystudio brassing pen can be restored to their original shine with copper oil and a light polishing.
