That's actually the second of your YouTube videos I've seen. Maybe a year ago I watched your GSG-5 push pin tutorial when I switched out mine.

Hi Chad,

Good video. It's funny that folks end up using alot of the same processes without ever talking to each other. I also like your tube holder tree in the background. I'm gonna have to make myself one of those.

Nice intro video, Chad. Can't wait to see the rest. I have a bag of watch parts just waiting to adhere themselves onto pen barrels:biggrin:

This is high on my list of to-do items. I have a pile of parts, some casting experience, various kits that are likely candidates and the motivation to learn/try this process.

Looking forward to the next video. (BTW: My wife who is a videographer said that your shot composition was good and it looked like you were putting together a video series that was well above average for many DIY videos.)

Sandy.

The first few carbon fibre sleeves I put on were with epoxy and it was messy, I then tried CA, that worked well, and was so glad to see that's how you do it.

Great video, I was going to do a tutorial of how I did it, but after seeing your video there is no need for one.

Regards
Peter

I too use 5 minute epoxy and then shrink tubing to tighten up the whole thing. I might have to try odorless CA and see how I like it.
