CA help

[keithz]

I glued the center band for a PSI Classic Twist pencil in place, then, thinking I had waited long enough, screwed the cap on to the bottom. I found out this morning that I had not waited long enough and now it's stuck...tight.

Any ideas about how to get the cap loose?

short of a really big hammer, you mean?

If you don't have access to the part that's glued - to be able to cut it, per say, you might have to use a commercial debonder to gum up the CA glue

IF I remember the way that goes together, you can take off the clip (unscrew top).

Insert a hypodermic needle with CA debonder and "squirt" a very little bit around the circumference, inside the brass tube. You probably want to tape kleenex in place to cover the pen body (lower) and absorb the debonder that seeps through. IF it gets on the finish to your wood, it WILL dull the wood.

If you see a better idea, TAKE IT!!!

This is where I would start and I have a lot of pens that prove that my ideas DON'T ALWAYS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!![:0][:0][:0]

Acetone will disolve the CA, including the CA in the finish.
