So, I'm pretty new to turning and turning pens in general, but I have a question. Of the pens I've turned, one of the pen barrels has recently developed a crack. Does anyone know why or how that happens? Could it have started when I inserted the cap into the pen?
The picture below tries to show the crack, it starts at the top of the barrel and continues down. Since it's the first pen I have turned, I'd like to save it -- so I was going to try and use CA glue to hold it together.
Any suggestions on how to prevent this in the future would be appreciated.
