Hi everyone, I stumbled onto this site a week or so ago and absolutely love it. I consider myself a beginner but I have made a small number of pens. I am now in the process of cleaning up some things with my technique. My question is with regards to gluing the blanks. There are alot of different opinions out there. I've tried the thin CA but cures to fast for me. Thinking about using Pro bond polyurethane. Not worried about the long cure time b/c I will be gluing many blanks at one time. Questions are? Should I still run a coat of thin CA into the blank or will Pro bond be enough? Also I have heard the poly will expand, is it still ok to drill the blank with say 7mm bit if using 7mm pen kit or should a person drill a little larger? Last issue, I've heard some people say that epoxy glue will get brittle with age and casue some pen failure, is this true. Thanks[?]
