Hi Kelvin,
It's nothing specific to the Omegas.... A fellow pen turner has just used PVA glue to bond the kit tubes into his blanks.

Hi Mark, I think Kelvin was being a bit sarcastic.

Epoxy from the pound shop is probably the most economic. Pretty cheap at Aldi and Lidl too.

Just don’t use polyurethane.

Why I don't use Gorilla Glue - YouTube

I have never wet a pen ever to use Gorilla brown,NO failures,also Only once did a brass pop out even a little but caution tells me to wrap a rubber band end for end on a blank and I cut that off after 2 hrs.

The video. Succinctly put, I couldn’t agree more! Some things work, but others work better!

I guess we all do what works for us. I don’t really want to risk using something I don’t know on a pen I am selling or giving to someone else. Once I have found a glue that works for me I stick to it (sorry!) because I have plenty of other things I want to experiment with in the time I have available. For me 5 min epoxy works just fine.

I did see it and couldn’t be ar$ed to answer as I sometimes think he doest it for a reaction.

By the way I do believe he would do something like this.

Polyurethane seems to be a flexible adhesive so I use it when I make sanding belts and it works very well for that. It’s a bit messy though.
