I'm trying to use painted tubes for my acrylic pens so I don't see gold showing through. I've tried spray paint, acrylic paint and Sharpie paint pen. I've tried painting the inside of the blank and the outside of the tube, just the tube, just the inside of the blank. I've sanded the tubes an extra amount to make them more scratched and textured. All efforts have failed... not 100% but enough to make it a failure as a whole. The tubes look good but they push out when I'm putting the pen together after turning or they push out when I'm squaring the ends. I've tried both medium CA glue and gorilla glue epoxy.
Anyone have any tips that actually works and will keep the painted tube glued in place or a different type of paint that will adhere to the acrylic blank better? Thanks for your advice.
