Went down me workshop to make another remembrance pen but when I made the last batch of segmented blanks I had a very bad reaction to the CA glue it effected my breathing big time and my eyes so I rushed the blanks and most of them in close inspection today were only fit for the bin so I wont be doing anymore segmenting took me three days to get over it.
Got the last one made thank goodness

Very nice pen.

You have become sensitized to the CA and any future use of it may do the same. If you need to use it you will have to wear a mask with charcoal filters and the shop well ventilated or have the same reaction again. You could switch over to a good epoxy but the segmenting process will take longer.

Fabulous as always, but not worth your health, I'm certain you are wise enough to know this or find an alternative.

Regards

I'm reminded of the warning concerning Cocobolo. There are those who are allergic and those who are going to be allergic. You may have to start using it in the garden with the wind at your back.
