  15. Saw off a piece of the pen a little more than the inner part of the cap. This will be the outer part. You have to fix the inner part of the cap inside the outer part using hot glue. So that the hook can be easily removed after the hot glue has hardened, lubricate the hook handle. To make it easy for you to remove excess hot glue, lubricate also on the outside of the outer part of the cap.
