On my second PSI SW Mesa Twist pen, I noticed a small gap between the front end assembly and the polymer clay tube, so I attempted to disassemble the cap connector from the tube...OMG, I pushe the brass tube out of the polymer clay wrap!!! I welcome your suggestions as to how to ensure my wraps better adhere to the brass tubes.

Gorilla glue is bad about that ... epoxy is better ... super glue gel seems to be the best.
Use a smaller drill bit to drill hole ... example ... 6.9mm drill instead of a 7mm drill to get a tighter fit.
