Can someone please let me know what is a good glue for attaching a globe at the end of a Waterman barrel, such as with Inkvues, Patricians...Is it a 2-part epoxy?TIA

There are only two things that I think would work - epoxy or "goop." (brand name) I've used "marine goop" to secure parts in modern acrylic pens where epoxy let go in relatively short order. Clean up is with cloth dampened with naptha (lighter fluid).

I don't particuarly like super glue for much of anything, though it might work.

Make sure that you remove all of the adhesive off of both surfaces before you try to glue the globe in place.

I think I'd listen to Ron on this one.

Thanks Ron. I'll try the Marine Goop.
