Cutting& Drilling Blanks:
Note: Additional length has been added to the overall length of the blank to accommodate for squaring the ends of the blank.
Gluing Blanks to Tubes:
Rough the entire surface of the tube using 180 grit paper.
Next, using either a thick CA or 5 Minute Epoxy, apply adheSive to both the
tube and the inside of the blank. 1To secure the brass tube into the inside of
the blank make sure to rotate the tube as you insert it into the blank. This
will help ensure even coverage of the adhesive and a much more secure bond.
Squaring the Blank to Length:
When squaring the blanks to length ensure to only go to the brass. Removing
brass will affect the overall length of the blank which is critical to the
proper operation of the pen.
