Pls. Help! Aurora Ypsilon Satin Major Fracture!

[artistmonk]

Hi everyone. This will be my first post in here. I am looking for help regarding my Aurora Ypsilon Satin (photo is attached in this post). This is my first fountain pen. I've had this since 2007. Not so long ago, uncapped for a second, it rolled off my desk and broke! The cap and nib are okay. The feed is intact. But the nib's section is badly damaged where the threading has disappeared. The threading is left inside the barrel! My initial idea for damage control was to apply Mighty Bond. However, this did not work at all. Please let me know if anybody here knows how to fix something like this? Are there any home remedies you can suggest? If not, would you please recommend the best action for this? Thank you!

Put it on a lathe and make a new section.

Have you considered sending it to an Aurora repair depot for repair? Replacement parts may still be available.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late reply. The damage is finally fixed. A guy named Bill from FPN FB suggested using plastic model cement. I did have some plastic cement among my Warhammer kit. Gently twisted the stuck thread from the barrel using a small long-nose pliers before reuniting it with the rest of the section. The Tamiya cement did a great job! An allowance of 24 hours drying time before putting a cartridge. It now writes like a dream. Thank you for the suggestions!

Good news, congrats on the repair!

sometimes the plastic cement or in this case solvent welding takes time to cure as a plastic modeller myself I have to give my hobby glue some more days to fully cure... or perhaps it's because my hobby cement is nearly evaporated already... mmm
