Are Penbbs 308 And 480 Sections Interchangeable?
TheVintagelife posted a topic in China, Korea and Others (Far East, Asia)
As the title says, I am wondering if the sections of the two pens can be inter-changed. I otherwise quite like my 480 , but I don't like the sharp ridge at the (nib)end of the section, since I hold my pen quite low. I find the 308 design quite meh, and hence haven't bought one, but I am liking the shape of the section from online pictures. I don't mind paying the full price (currently about $15 odd at Beini's page for the suitable colorway) just for the section (and can harvest the nib also if better than my currently least liked penBBS nib). Can anyone who has both pens please try and let me know? -
Hard Rubber Barrel Thread Crack And Loctite 480 Post Cure Clean Up
uilleann posted a topic in Repair Q&A
So I have used Loctite 480 to repair 4 barrel and cap cracks. 3 of them were on the threads. And it seems to work great even when there is tension on the gap from putting a section in. The stuff is black and blends in pretty well with BHR but I just did a red swirl and it is pretty noticeable. The only way I know of to clean it is to use a dental pick, a head loupe, and bright light to pick away at the 408 till the red shows through. Is there a better way? I would love to chase the threads but is there any tool that can chase multi-start threads?
