Greetings,
I was preparing a "Tequila Sunrise" Dymondwood pen blank and had a blowout. This pen blank is diagonally cut and consists of many layers of thin, dyed wood. I was using the barrel trimmer in my drill press when the blowout occurred, and what happened was that a corner broke off into a few pieces. I was able to find and Super Glue on 2 of those pieces, but a small portion of the brass tube is still showing.
I think if I can fill that corner with something, let it set, then turn it, I can hide that under the pen clip...makbe touch it with a red or green Sharpie Marker to make it look less conspicuous before finishing. When done it should fit under the clip and hardly be noticed, if at all.
What would you do? Mix and fill in with epoxy? Bondo?
Thanks and regards,
Tim B.
