Hey Guys,
So I made my first Sierra Elegant pen and it looks great; I built it with a Paua Abalone Shell Blank. It turned out really well in spite of the numerous bubbles in the PR.
So now the issue: the transmission works fine but it is super hard to twist once everything is put together. Its the nib portion of the pen against the brass tube of the blank that is causing the problem, I think. As this pen is for a lady friend of mine, I don't want it to be this difficult to twist.
Is there anything I can put on it or do to make it an easier twist? I'm not that experienced with PR so I don't know what chemicals it will react with.
Thanks,
Steve
