What glue do you use to cement the tubes to the drilled blanks?
I've seen CA and have seen turners say it doesn't hold up long term.. possibly to shock, changes in the wood over time, etc. I've used it but have no idea how long it holds up.
I've used 2 part epoxy.. but, if I'm doing multiple pens, the 5 minute (ha) won't stay useable for more than one pen at a time. I guess I could go to a 15 minute type.
Gorilla Glue? I haven't tried it yet.. but it is strong, foaming to fill voids, etc.
I plan on filling the tube with a plug of potato or play dough to keep the cement from getting in and having to deal with any overflow, etc.
Thoughts? In case you haven't guessed, I'm a newbie
