Ok, putting together my first Baron and thought I'd ask a dumb question before I end up throwing a $15 kit in the trash.
On step 3C, where you install the couplers on the long tube, how do you know when to stop pressing? In other words, if you install the end coupler first, is there a natural stopping point in the pressing? When you turn it around to press in the nib coupler, how do you keep from over-pressing the end coupler? I'm hoping that the trim rings act as a buffer and prevent over-pressing, but I'm not sure.
Hope the question isn't too convoluted.
Also, is it customary to use a little CA to hold the parts and pieces together -- like the Finial/Clip and Center Ring?
