For all you batch turners, what's your secrets when epoxying the tubes. I just struggled with 5 pens going through my routine using a 5 minute epoxy. Dabbing and spreading the epoxy on the tube is a pain besides trying to get a couple of pen blanks done in the 5 minute window.
Then when I drive the tubes through the blank, all the epoxy ends up at the other end of the blank. I let the newly epoxied blanks sit for a few hours before turning. I just found a loose tube after trying to set a tip. That's why I stopped using CA.
So how about a few foolproof tips or two.
Thanks,
