The JB Weld thread reminded me of a pen problem I have.

I have a barron pen that the barrel has turned loose from the tube. The pen kit hardware holds the pen together, but the blank turns on the tube when removing the pen from the cap.

I am concerned that this might eventually cause the blank to break and ruin a beautiful pen.

What is the best way to resecure the blank to the tube?

Thanks in advance.

I had this happen once, and I got lucky. I had secured the hardware fittings with Loctite. When I used the transfer punch to remove the threads (I left the fenial and sping in place), I got fenial, plastic threads AND tube to come out together.

I reglued the tube in place with 5 minute epoxy and it went back together without issue.

Good Luck.
