    Hey, things get rough around here... but seriously, these 40s/50s Watermans can be right nasty little so and so's to repair and I think people are genuinely trying to save you some hassle.

    I'm not a very experienced repairer but the one thing I would say is be very careful putting the pen back together. You've done really well so far and you don't want to ruin things now as it'll be a nice pen when done.
    Warm the barrel up first before you put the section back in, and stay good and patient, don't insist if it doesn't want to go. I actually managed to nearly melt a pen barrel when I first started - thank goodness it was a third tier clunker! it still has a bit of a banana tendency so to speak - and since then, I've tried to exercise a whole lot more patience!
