First CA crack this evening . Beautiful pen too, with Mozambique Leadwood. But CA finish cracked when pushing the nib end in. Thought I’d cleaned the tube end out properly as well. Oh well I’ll give it another go tomorrow btw I’m finding that a coat of Boiled Linseed Oil before applying CA is really helpful!
