Parker 45 caps.

[jchch1950]

My Parker 45 seems to have a cap that doesn't hold in the section securely. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thank you.

I believe that the usual reason that caps don't hold well on 45s has nothing to do with the cap itself, but is due to shrinkage of the plastic of the section.

 

Examine the section. Do you see any deformation of the plastic?

Thank you for the comment.I will look at the sections, if that's the case there will be no easy repair besides finding new sections.

   Five Star Pens is where I get my 45 sections. They also have other parts if the cap does need replacing.
