I've had an issue with the tubes of the Dragon and Celtic pen kits.
I'm using the designated drill bit but the holes are larger than the tubes (more than usual), so much so that the tubes fall out after I glue them.
I initially thought my glue was bad. I used new glue and it happened again.
I'm new to these kits and I used acrylic blanks which i'm also new to.
Could this be because of the acrylic? Should I use a drill bit smaller than the recommended?
I was able to re-glue the dragon kit and it held with a lot of glue.
Unfortunately, the Celtic pen has been assembled but is not functioning, I believe because the bottom brass tube is not secured.
Working on the second dragon kit now and same thing.
Any advice or shared similar experience is appreciated.
Thank-you
