I glued some 5/16 copper tubes in a 30.06 casing with c.a.,powder coated them and the tubes came loose,looked like the ca was baked and broke loose any ideas what i did wrong,should i use a different type of glue? thanks.

Looks like interesting stuff and would probably work a lot better than CA on casing pens. I think I'll order some.Originally posted by Skye
<br />Have you ever heard of this stuff called Lab-Metal?
Drill out the end of the casing, turn a wooden core dab of glue for insurance but the wood core "press fits in" The solid wood core is lighter than an arrow shaft, the bond at the neck where it tapers is very strong.Originally posted by Jerryconn

I decided to stick to doing them the way I started a year and a half ago.
I don't trust any adheasive in a shear joint.

Ok Eagle I'll bite, how have you been doing them for the past 1 1/2 years? I have been using 2-part epoxy.
Thanks in advance
Glue the tube into a hardwood blank.Treat as any other pen blank.Originally posted by guts
<br />Eagle,do you then drill and add the tubes or do you just use the wood and eleminate the tubes all together?
