Swapping sections?

[teamspdm]

Hello all,

I just got a new estie from ebay, it's a beautiful dark red! However, it sounded like a rattle and when opened the sac came out in a multitude of little blue black flakes. I know there's a few posts explaining re-sacking, however I have another J which I like less (dinged up and black) and I was wondering if I could just switch the sections sac and all? Figured I'd ask first...for once. I've already cleaned all the ink and bits out of the new one.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

One section may not fit as snug as the one you have in there now, but if it is not too loose or too tight, it is OK to switch. There are things you can do to make it fit if it is too loose or too tight but that is the short answer to your question.

Worked like a charm, the section on the black body was always a little loose. The working section and sac fit nice and tight on the red body. Now set up with a nice fine italic osmiroid. Thanks again for the quick response!
