CYA on kit parts

[Queso]

I got a small smudge of CYA on the clip of one of my pens today. I know that acetone will desolve the CYA, but will it also take the finish off the clip?

You don't say which finish is on the clip. 10K ,24k,TN,platinum or something else. From what I have tried you should be OK.

I haven't tried acetone, Paul, but the release agent that is available from a lot of the places (maybe even all of them) that sell CA glue in larger sizes works very well...and it doesn't take the finish off anything. (Note: the release agent may well be acetone-based, but I have no idea what it is.)

One reason I don't use ca very much...

That's one reason I don't care for speaking in acronymneese. I have just learned bb, ca, oo, az (or is it 'as' [?] ). Now come cya which normally, universally means 'cover yer posterior'. English anyone? Or am I OT? Sorry.

Rifleman (Frank), I agree with you. I thought maybe it was just me cause I am new on this site. Can't even understand some of the posts with all the AB, CD & EF. CYA - yup 'Cover Your A$$' I wondered how that applied to pens.

 

[JimGo]

LOL...Yeah, I think he meant CA

 

[Queso]

Yes, I meant CA, aka cyanoacrylate, aka superglue

I thought someone had put an eye out with a sharp fountain pen (FP) and this was a post describing our new legal liability and therefore....CYA......

BTW I got some "CYA" on a chrome kit and after it dried it came right of with my fingernail. Try it.

I ruined one rollerball when I got a little acetone on the plastic "grip" just above the nib. You need to be real careful whenever using acetone around a finishe pen!!!

No offense meant, but when he said he got CYA on his pen, I was wondering what he was doing with it THERE??? []

Students get CA everywhere. We use release agent.
