pen assembly - gluing the ferrule

Nov 22, 2003 2 Replies

Hi Folks,



On the mont-blanc style pens, I am having some troubles -- just finished the second one, and when I try to glue the gold/plastic ferrule on the top half of the pen with CA glue, i just put a little drop on, but then I find that the glue goes everywhere and all of a sudden my fingers are tacky and there's glue on the outside of the ferrule and the pen.



So, how do I do this properly, so that the glue just stays in the joint?



And how do I clean up the two assembled pens that have some extra glue on them?



Thanks, Caleb


I use thick CA, less than a drop. it don't run like thin ca and stays where you put it.

Of course -- thanks. I've never been a CA user, so I'll have to familiarize myself with it more. Thanks again, Caleb
