Things To Remember
- Firstly, make sure while expanding the gel pen refill hole, you do not burn it.
- Secondly, ensure that you do not damage yourself or the apparatus while using the lighter.
Recommendation
- We recommend you use the parts of the damaged cycle bell
- If you are not comfortable with the lighter, we recommend using the regular matchbox.
