How I Glue Tubes in Acrylic and Mixed Material Pen Blanks | Pen Turning Tips

In this video I go through the steps I take to glue brass tubes in acrylic and mixed material blanks. Getting a good glue bond between the tube and blank will reduce or eliminate those frustrating blow outs that sometimes happen when turning acrylic blanks.

I got the idea of applying glue to both the tube and inside of the blank from Curtis Seebeck. Since I began using this method, I have practically eliminated blow outs.
