I tried my first high gloss pen today and totally destroyed it trying to pry it loose from the bushings:frown:
What's the secrete here?
Thanks

Use a little Johnson's or MinWax Finish paste wax on the bushings. OR you can buy delrin "eliminator" finish bushings from JohnnyCNC on this forum. Those are well worth the very few dollars I paid for them.
I can make CA stick to ANYTHING it's not supposed to stick to, but the wax really helps and the "eliminator" bushings are conical and the CA stops a the end of the pen barrell.
You can also cut out washers from plastic milk jugs and place between the bushing and pen tube with a little wax - problem solved.
Good luck
