		Start by holding the pen between your ring finger and your pinky around the first joint (the one closest to the tips of your fingers) in such a way that the 'outside' end of the pen (the one away from your palm) is a little longer than the 'inside' end.
		To get the pen to spin over your thumb, gently push the barrel with your middle finger so that it rolls anti-clockwise over your thumb joint; at the same time, move your index finger back and curve it (bend it at both joints) to receive the barrel.
		The starting position for the pen is the same as the drumstick roll: between your ring finger and your pinky, around the first joint, except that the distance from your ring finger to either end of the pen is roughly the same.

	penturners.org - West Systems Epoxy
		My opinion is that the time required is not worth the effort for a finish that at best is no better than Enduro, and too often turns out to be no better than a shellac friction polish.
		The Enduro is the hardest finish we can put on a pen and it is applied in short sessions spread out over a couple days and there is no need to keep the pen rotating in a dust-free environment in between them.
		That means using a slow curing epoxy, and that means either using the lathe for several hours, or using some type of powered rotator to keep the pen spinning slowly.

		It's a pretty simple trick: hold pen between thumb and index finger, flick the pen with your middle finger, pen loops over thumb and you try to catch the pen.
		I think the key of the trick is to hold the pen at the right point to get the correct balance.
