Hello All; Made my first pen yesterday: the good news is it writes; the bad news is the nib & cap kept falling out (literally). Certainly didn't need the pen press I bought! I finally CA'd them in. Used all procedures listed in the book, i.e., alignment, drill size, drill type, mandrel, etc. The kit is a PSI 7mm slimline. Could I have had a defective pen kit? Trimmer oversized?
Also, for a finish I used Hut Liquid after sanding to 600. From reading thru the forum, it appears that was probably a mistake, and this finish won't last long.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Hope to try my second pen today.
