The first pens made were platinum and black Ti Slimlines from Woodcraft, and I have several of the earlier pens that I plan to give to family....some nice wood there and the first ones need not go to the can. The problem is the center rings have a habit of getting slung off when the top is pulled from the pen. What is, if there is, the means to prevent this? Have heard of using CA but also hear to not use on [near?] plated materials and am also concerned about glue migration into space between the transmission and the front tube and ruining the pen. Or is that just the way it is with Slimlines? Have graduated to Euros and Jr. Gents so it will not be a continuing problem for me.
Also, I managed to press the transmission a wee bit too far into one pen, doubt anyone has ever done this though; would someone happen to know the thread size for the cross refill? Hopefully I can insert a screw and pull it back out a wee bit.
