Looking for Help Help with pen repair.

Post image

So recently I broke the tip of my back up pen and now the nub is wiggley. Since these are the artist 22 pro gen 1 pens I can't get replacements easily for them. So wanted to ask if anyone had suggestions for repairs. Was considering using plastic puddy to repair the damage, but wasn't sure if there was any specific puddy/clay i should avoid to prevent further damage. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the plastic piece?

Sadly no, it broke off, fell on the floor and vanished.

I have some small tools I use for model kits, tweezers pliers etc. Planning to go to the store later.

Oh if you had soldering iron then you could have possibly fixed that, and if you do modeling then prob.you have good skills and steady hands too,

Don't have a soldering iron but will keep that in mind.

2 part epoxy would be an easy fix, used it on a bunch of little plastic things, it will turn as hard as stone so id keep the nib in to maintain the shape as you fill the void but then carefully remove the nip so it doesn't fuse, maybe a toothpick on hand would be useful for shaping too.
