I have always used 2 part epoxy to glue brass tubes inside the pen blank and it's usually worked well. This last batch I glued up, a total of 14 blanks, the epoxy failed while squaring the ends with my mill. Ended up pushing the tubes out the other end of the blank. 14 for 14, not good stats. Is there any way to reclaim these blanks and tubes? What would I use to clean the epoxy off the tubes? I believe, from what I have gleaned here, is that I used too much hardener and it ended up not curing properly. I would like to try CA for the tubes, but what kind would be best? Any ideas, hints, tips, direction would be GREATLY appreciated as I have enjoyed this slippery slope so far, but am snagged up for now.
Thanks to all you pros,
John
