Yes as everyone else has said internals need to be bone dry and clear. I love my pen press and it has made a big difference in helping to get the pens assembled with less issues. However I know a guy who wallops them together using a mallet and a piece of leather and has done so successfully for decades…
I too have switched to using Melamine laquer these days, it’s just so much easier cleaner and quicker.
