ink cage detaching?
« on: November 28, 2017, 10:56:05 AM »
Am using several cages and LOVE them.  Have read the older thread with reviews.  Wonderful info.  Only question for me is:  has anyone had any problems with the cage detaching from the nib after using for awhile (after using & cleaning several times)?  I'm thinking I am perhaps too aggressive in cleaning. 

It often looks as though I didn't get it cleaned well, and gently use a toothbrush on cage.  Could be I am not gentle enough with drying/blotting.  Good or bad idea to use Windex or alcohol - maybe there is some effect on glue or whatever is used to attach the nib?  Mostly use Sumi or Walnut.

And if Jim is reading this...can I re-attach a cage?  I PROMISE I will not stop buying them! ;)
