What has the Omega pens done to them?

Hi Kelvin,
It's nothing specific to the Omegas.... A fellow pen turner has just used PVA glue to bond the kit tubes into his blanks.

Thanks Mark.

Epoxy from the pound shop is probably the most economic. Pretty cheap at Aldi and Lidl too.
Just don’t use polyurethane.

I have never wet a pen ever to use Gorilla brown,NO failures,also Only once did a brass pop out even a little but caution tells me to wrap a rubber band end for end on a blank and I cut that off after 2 hrs.

The video. Succinctly put, I couldn’t agree more! Some things work, but others work better!

I guess we all do what works for us. I don’t really want to risk using something I don’t know on a pen I am selling or giving to someone else. Once I have found a glue that works for me I stick to it (sorry!) because I have plenty of other things I want to experiment with in the time I have available. For me 5 min epoxy works just fine.
Hi all,

OK glues glue but not for tubes however cheap
I did see it and couldn’t be ar$ed to answer as I sometimes think he doest it for a reaction.
