Sheaffer Imperial Touchdown Blind Cap Loose

[jmccarty3]

I recently got a NOS Sheaffer Imperial Touchdown, gold plated. It has a superb wet nib and fills just fine, but the metal blind cap has come loose from the black plastic underneath it. What's the best way to reattach the cap? There's still barely enough friction to turn the filling mechanism.

I have used sac shellac. Has held 6 months on a pen I use regularly.

GS-Hypo Cement would be good too.

Thanks for the suggestions.

A late follow-up: the GS-Hypo Cement worked great!

Be careful that the issue isn't really a tightness issue with the piston. If it is you could end up with a mores serious problem.

No, the piston works fine and the pen fills and writes perfectly now.
