Hi. I made a Skull Twist pen for my son and the lower half was pressed in and was okay for a while but now the lower half keeps coming off and won't stay. Any suggestions for repairing the pen? Thanks.

Use a thin piece of wood like a toothpick and distribute a small drop of loctite around the inside edge of the tube then press the coupler in the tube.Thanks, I'm not sure I understand about putting the locktite in the tube. I was going to put it on the lip that presses into the tube. Not sure if this is clear?
George; As Ed and Mannie said; Put the locktite on a toothpick and put it on the inside of the tube. then press the fitting into the tube and if it is loose, twist the fitting to distribute the locktite. The locktite will not squeeze out on the blank. If you put it on the fitting, it will squeeze out onto the blank and you will have to clean it off. Don't risk it.Thanks, I'm not sure I understand about putting the locktite in the tube. I was going to put it on the lip that presses into the tube. Not sure if this is clear?
by loctite you refer to the thread "glue"?or is there another product?Use a thin piece of wood like a toothpick and distribute a small drop of loctite around the inside edge of the tube then press the coupler in the tube.

Thanks. I'm going to use 5 minute epoxy.
