The last couple orders for new kits have been delivered with brass tubes that have a "scuffed up" surface. Wondering if there's news on this that they don't require sanding. Anybody got the info?
New brass tubes?

Psi is doing this now. I like it.

Just received some PSI kits today and noticed that the tubes come pre-scuffed. But I still give them a brief scrub with sandpaper before gluing them end - I'm a belt-and-suspenders guy.

Yup, I just wipe them with acetone and they're ready for gluing.

Yup, I noticed they started doing that. You don't need to do anything with them just clean them with alcohol and you ready to go.

I certainly appreciate them going the extra mile.
I've made well over 10,000 pens and I've never roughed up a tube, never wiped a tube with acetone, and never had the glue (almost always CA) fail.
Maybe I'll sand the pre-scuffed tubes to make them slick and give them a few months to tarnish before I use them.
