Hi guys! I've been making some Pentel/Foray based click pencils using Polyester resin blanks that I've been making and run into a strange phenomenon and wondered if anyone else has. The clip slips onto the outside of the barrel and is held by spring tension. This tension is slowly squeezing the barrel of the pencil and jamming the pencil mechanism inside! I've 'fixed' one by fitting a brass sleeve inside the barrel where the clip goes. Has anyone else run into this? If you did how did you get around it?
Or do you just not make click pencils from polyresin?
