Make sure the tube fits without too much force, and that it can be positioned so that excess wood extends beyond both metal ends. If tear out has occurred, take care in positioning the tube so that the area of torn out grain does not contact the tube itself, if possible. You can use 2-part epoxy or CA glue. Sand the outside of the tube if it is not rough already from the factory. Cover with a thin layer of glue. Use the conical insertion tool (stored in the Pen Tools box) to inert the tube into position inside the blank, and let the tube dry.<br clear=all>
