    I like using a glue gun to secure the tip of my RSVP MX. Doubt I'll get arrested for that lol.

    I assume he means legal for tournament use, not legal for national laws haha.
    My guess is that any type of glue/material would be alright to hold stuff together...unless you want to strap gunpowder in it or something!

    I meant legal by pen modding ethics, if there's one.....

    Currently there are no modding "ethics" Mod your pens anyway you want. The point of modding a pen afterall is to make it better fit your preferences.

    As long as what you are doing doesn't somehow make the pen worse (cause that would be useless), go ahead and do it. thumb.gif

    I use Glue guns to shove weight into weight into my rsvp so I don't have to make any changes to the appearance.

    it works

    Hot glue from glue guns is how I secure all my tips. It doesn't make the plastic brittle like super glue tends to do and it helps absorb impact, because the glue is flexible when dry.

    I haven't had a single pen tip break off or be damaged in any way using glue from a glue gun, while every other method I've ever tried has broken at least once.

    I use glue guns to seal off the tips of my MX so the smell of my joint wont be noticeable!
