Got fed up with the CA sticking to the tube inserter so made this.

Dead easy job that only I can turn into something difficult.

I tried to turn the PE HDPE without putting it on a mandrel and without a live centre, Ended up like a dogs dinner.

I ended up trying to rectify doing things wrong by doing other things wrong, I kid you not, it was one thing after another, I have done pens quicker :goesred:
