Note on tine alignment and polishing by
virgiliopoeta
To tell if your tines are aligned properly, do this. Make a series of
downstrokes from right to left /////. Then make a series of downstrokes
from left to right \\\\\. Compare the two series. Assuming your nib is
not an italic of course, the two series should be of equal darkness and
thickness. If...

Resaccing note by
virgiliopoeta
If you're resaccing a pen, get the biggest sac that will fit in the
barrel, then choose a sac one size smaller to actually use. The biggest
sac that will go in the barrel will often expand just enough once you
glue it in, to make it difficult to get the barrel free of the section
again, should you...

If your pen writes too dry by
virgiliopoeta
Do this. Get a 3cc veterinary syringe and fill it with a cc or so of
Ivory or Ajax dish detergent. Drop 1 or 2 tiny drops of the detergent
into one bottle of ink, standard 57 ml/cc size. If you like a really
wet pen like I do, add up to 5 drops. In my experience almost any ink
will write sweeter...

O/T Inexpensive art supplies in LA? by
[email protected]
I need to donate a bunch of supplies in an Adopt-a-Family for Christmas
type of thing and I don't have a lot of money. The kids are various
ages, so I was thinking everything from crayons to pencils and maybe
even chalk. And large quanities of paper as well. I'd like to give each
kid their own...

Too much ink... by
Mike Simanyi
I have a Pelikan 805 that I purchased new in September, and I had the
manufacturer re-nib it with an Extra Fine nib after finding the Fine nib
creates a very broad stroke for me. My ink problem doesn't relate to
flow while writing, but rather with ink buildup and, ultimately, drips
because too much...

SATRAP and others, too! Best orange fountain pen inks? by
Juhapekka Tolvanen
I just got my first orange fountain pen. I think I'll order some orange
fountain pen ink soon. But which one I should choose? It must be dark
enough. Hence, I think I'd better get red-orange and not yellow-orange.
Also some kind of burnt orange may be good.
Please tell me your opinions and...

Sheaffer Skrip Kings Gold by
Andy Dingley
I saw some odd Sheaffer Skrip today in an unfamiliar bottle. Is this the
older "German" Skrip, rather than the modern "Slovenian" Skrip?
The one I'm familiar with (Slovenian?) is a conical glass bottle with a
small cap, packaged in a clear plastic box. This one had a larger cap
and was in a dark...

Parker Duofold Question by
Cliff Reynolds
I have been shopping for a Parker Duofold Centennial fountain pen. I notice
that some Centennials have a Duofold emplem on the cap, and some do not.
Why is this? Is there a quality difference? Are both genuine if everything
else is in order? Any help that you can offer would be greatly...

Montblanc Writing Sample - Fine Nib????? by
Cliff Reynolds
Is it possible that the Montblanc that I recently purchased with a fine nib
actually has a "Fine" sized nib?
What to you think?
http://members.impulse.net/~creynold/Images/File0124.jpg
I'm thinking that it is actually a medium.
