Cracked Estie Cap

[MajesticPens]

So, I dropped my Easterbrook LJ down a flight of stairs. Then this happened:

 

 

More info in the crack:

-goes all the way around

-I can't close the cap tightly

-inner cap seems to be intact

-material is Pearl Grey

 

Can this terrible crack be fixed?

Please Help!

It can, but it might just be cheaper to replace the cap. Esterbrook plastic responds to the same solvents as celluloid, though a couple of them are pretty toxic.

My near-sightedness, uncorrected, is down to about 3" max. Usually a very good thing in pen work. That one solvent is making me think about wearing my full-face CPAP mask during crack and divot repair.
