Thread: Pen Blank Glue

The glue I am using currently is VISE supergrip polyurethane glue put out by Craftsmart in Victoria.Net reference www.vise.com.au I buy mine from Bunnings,they have a monster store two bocks from my home.

I use the 250g or 227 ml size.Why because it fits in my hand and squeezes well and each time I finish a batch I squeeze the air out and the cap holds it that way it does not go off on me.

I use it with a full dose either end up the blank applied with a cotton bud loaded with glue,then liberally most all over the scratched brass with a potato slug in the end.The potato is pushed out with a wooden meat skewer,use lots of tissues and now wear vynal gloves.

When I place the blanks down after I turn them and wipe a couple of times.

After a couple of days sand the ends easily on a disk sander set up on one of my lathes,ream them from both ends,so I waste some glue,so what they stay glued just fine.

At the wwwood show in Sydney I spoke with Aussie dealers of Weldbond and they have a producy called Professional Weldbond that sticks like tar to a Tomcat or some grevious stuff to a blanket.

Another product of note is Prep multiuse adhesive www.prepproducts.com.au Of course there are many more tell us about your favourite and why?
